Prototype is a generic-purpose JavaScript framework that aims to ease the development of dynamic web applications by offering DOM manipulation, AJAX and other JavaScript functionality ranging from utility functions to object oriented constructs. It is not specifically written for any language, so Rails provides a set of helpers to enable seamless integration of Prototype with your Rails views.
