Microbe.js – A modular JavaScript library for DOM manipulation, and more

4 points

11 years 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!
