The client-side Glide classes are for use in scripts that are run directly in front of the user. These include manipulating and working with form fields and user data and being able to call server-side scripts to return values in the database.
I would say that GlideForm or g_form is the most used client-side class. It is mainly used for getting data from the fields on the form and setting values to those fields as well. We can also change elements of those fields using g_form.

This then allows you to use that variable to check against other data or pass as a parameter into a function:
g_form.setValue('state...
