mousemke 3878 days ago. For the past year and a half, myself (https://www.github.com/mousemke) and Nico (https://www.github.com/nicolasbrugneaux) have been developing a javascript library internally at Sociomantic Labs. It’s finally open source, and so I’d like to introduce microbe.js! microbe.js is a small modular library based on jquery syntax, but written from the ground up. It's faster than jquery in most tests (http://m.icro.be/tests/), handles css4 selectors, and it's output is built to be consistent. current modules include : + Selector engine with CSS4 selector support and base functions (find, filter, siblings, children, … ) + Core helpers (class, extend, text, attributes … ) + DOM helpers (append, insertAfter, prepend … ) + Type helpers(isUnidentified, isArray, isWindow, … ) + HTTP helpers making use of Promises (get, post, … ) + Object.observe watches objects for changes. It can also watch itself for changes in element get/set data + Events - binding and emitting custom events I'd love for people to try it, use it, and contribute to build a community! microbe website - http://m.icro.be microbe github - https://github.com/sociomantic/microbe microbe npm - https://www.npmjs.com/package/microbejs Sociomantic Blog - https://www.sociomantic.com/blog/2015/09/open-source-microbe-js/#.VgEKwyCqpBc
