Why choose open source libraries?
Open source frameworks and libraries are taking control in web development. On the one hand, they are completely free and allow developers to customize and create their own versions. On the other hand, large communities are building around open source frameworks. Hence, these frameworks are improving in leaps and bounds at an increasing speed, providing developers with more stable and bug-free versions. WordPress uses dozens of open source libraries and there are thousands of open source plugins in its plugins directory. Therefore, it's important to know how to use these open source libraries in order to make our lives easier as developers. Let's consider some of the advantages of using stable open source products:
Large community support
Ability to customize existing features by changing source code
No fees are involved based on per site or per person licensing
Usually reliable and stable
Possibility of having more features through forked versions
