The common denominator for all Drupal modules/profiles/themes that integrate with external libraries.
This module introduces a common repository for libraries in sites/all/libraries resp. sites/<domain>/libraries for contributed modules.
Drupal 7 only has built-in support for non-external libraries via hook_library(). But it is only suitable for drupal.org projects that bundle their own library; i.e., the module author is the creator and vendor of the library. Libraries API should be used for externally developed and distributed libraries. A simple example would be a third-party jQuery plugin.
