What is it?
The Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) Library is a set of utilities and controls, written in JavaScript, for building richly interactive web applications using techniques such as DOM scripting, DHTML and AJAX. The YUI Library also includes several core CSS resources. Within the YUI team, we tend to pronounce it "why-you-eye". However, in the wider world we more often hear it pronounced "yooey."
