# The MathJax API

The following links document the various components that make up MathJax. These are implemented as JavaScript objects contained within the single global variable, `MathJax`. Although JavaScript includes an object system with some inheritance capabilities, they do not constitute a full object-oriented programming model, so MathJax implements its own object library. This means there is an ambiguity when we speak of an “object”, as it could be either a native JavaScript object, or a MathJax object. When the distinction is importat, we will use Object (capitalized) or MathJax.Object for the latter; the javascript object will always be listed in lower case.
