laroux.js

This project is a jQuery substitute for modern browsers and mobile devices. But instead of offering some wrappers and own dynamics, it simply provides helper functions to achieve the same objectives as jQuery or Zepto.

Even though keeping compactness is the primary concern of this library, it does contain lightweight versions of some concepts/components, including some UI helpers and MVC.

So far, it has Ajax, Anim, CSS, Date, DOM, Events, Forms, Helpers, MVC, Stack, Templates, Timers, Triggers, UI, Vars and Wrapper components.

• Want to leverage the debug console's autocomplete/fluent typing.
• Are not satisfied with the performance of other libraries on mobile devices.
