The Google Data JavaScript client library has expanded its support to cover our latest browser Chrome as well as Safari 3.x.

Now you can start writing AJAX applications that use the Google Data JavaScript client library and have your apps be compatible with the following desktop browser environments:

• Internet Explorer 6 & 7
• Firefox 2.x & 3.x
• Safari 3.x
• Chrome

The Google Data JavaScript client library is a pure JavaScript library that allows you perform cross-domain AJAX read/write operations for several Google services - Google Calendar, Blogger, Google Contacts, and Google Finance.
