What Is The Best Lightweight Javascript Framework?
Solution 1:
I use jQuery - it is simple and small, and best of all: Very easy :)
Solution 2:
Also see question What JavaScript library would you choose for a new project and why?
It seems that jQuery has been growing the most recently. (See this presentation, slide 4)
Solution 3:
Try DOMAssistant. It's only 7 KB gzipped, is really fast and has Unicode support.
Solution 4:
This question is really a duplicate of this question (I think). My answer on that question was as follows (and applies here as well):
You will get a million answers here. The short one is: there are several, not a single one. They are all different in some ways and similar in others, and, in general, none of them are poor choices. The main frameworks that I would recommend are (in alphabetical order so as not to show any bias):
* Dojo
* jQuery
* MooTools
* Prototype (with Scriptaculous)
* YUI
* MochiKit
Each of these have different styles, different communities, and different focuses. Which one you should choose is mostly a matter of matching these frameworks' style with your own. Spend some time with the tutorials and demos of each and pick the one that makes the most sense for you.
As a disclaimer, I'll point out that I'm a developer for MooTools, and wrote a book on how to use it. I wouldn't say that MooTools is better than any of these other frameworks; only different.
Solution 5:
I use Prototype pretty extensively. The default package is 28 KB, whereas jQuery is 90ish*.
