Very good tool and friendly community behind

Great syntax for events handling, DOM manipulation; great support of CSS3 & HTML5 features like media queries or touch devices detection etc.; can be extended with plugins written in CoffeeScript/Typescript languages (as I did). Some JS libraries are not so easy to understand at first glance but then you realize that they have their own way how things work internally! It's hard sometimes because there isn't any documentation about it - just code examples which don' t show all parts well enought

Pros
  • Easeful API
  • Documentation is good enough
  • Works cross platform easily even without knowledge what framework was used under the hood behind your favorite browser engine.
  • Easy extension through pluggable architecture via simple javascript files called "plugins"
Cons
  • Sometimes difficult structure inside js file could make debugging harder.
  • No debugger available

Lightweight JavaScript Library With Great Features

Zepto.Js is pretty light weight with lots of features and is easy to use. It's not the prettiest, but it's not a bad library, either. The documentation is pretty good, and the developers are very active on the forums. The library is very easy to use and has all of the tools you need to build robust applications. There are lots of cross browser issues, and it's not always clear what the intended behavior is for a given situation. The documentation isn't always up to date, and I've had to look…

Pros
  • Easy to use API.
  • Lots o ffeatures (ease)
  • Good community support+documentation/forum presence.+Good examples available online+.Easy integration into other projects that already have jQuery dependency present!
Cons
  • Not much information about performance impact when using certain scenarios
  • Documentation can be hard if one doesn;t know where exactly they should go searching

A beautiful alternative client-side framework

I like that it's easy to use, very lightweight (no dependencies) with great documentation! It has some things in common with JQuery but doesn't feel as heavy or bloated. The UI interactions are really nice too - you can do all sorts of cool stuff without writing any code at all. There aren't many features yet for this version so far but they're working hard on improving everything over time. Try out their demo page first before using your own data source if possible; we found issues where our…

Pros
  • Very simple
  • Lightweight library/API
  • Extremely fast performance even compared against native JavaScript libraries such jQuery.
  • Can work alongside other frameworks eases integration between them.
  • Easy cross browser compatibility across major browsers including mobile devices
Cons
  • Minor Issues

Zepto.Js - Great framework with fast support

I like how easy it is to get Zepto up and running. It's a great library for building small applications. I can't say I have any downsides. I'm using it to build a simple application that will help us maintain/create a list of our website's pages. The application will be used by our website's editors to update the site's pages. We had some issues when we first started using it, but we were able to resolve them quickly. In a few weeks, we had a functioning application, and we've since been able…

Pros
  • Easy integration with many frameworks (ejs)Easy setup in nodeJS serverSide renderingMulti platform support(Linux / macOS )Fast page loadsGreat documentation!Incredibly active communityMature projectWide arrayof supported featuresStrongly typed objectsNative async functionsClean APIHigh interoperabilitywith other libs
Cons
  • Lackluster performance comparedto React or Vue
