AmplifyJS solves the following problems:

• Ajax Request Management - amplify.request provides a clean and elegant request abstraction for all types of data, even allowing for transformation prior to consumption.
• Client Side Component Communication - amplify.publish/subscribe provides a clean, performant API for component to component communication.
• Client Side Browser & Mobile Device Storage - amplify.store takes the confusion out of HTML5 localStorage. It doesn't get simpler than using amplify.store(key, data)! It even works flawlessly on mobile devices.
