I couldn't find it on google thus i asked in the one place where - if
it exists - people would probably know. I find it quite surprising
that a library like this isn't in existence yet. I can imagine tons of
sites would certainly benefit from having one generic interface to
use.

Anyway, thank you for your pointer and reply. If you (or anyone else)
finds a lib for this, please don't hesitate to post it in here. :)
