$dom is a lightweight JavaScript library for selecting, traversing, styling and animating DOM elements. This tiny JavaScript library weights only 5k (2kb gzip’d) and it can be used as an alternative to other well known.js libraries such as JQuery or Prototype. Sometimes, you just need a library that loads faster and has only the features you need to use. Many developers are using only 10% of other frameworks’ features while still having to download 100% of the code.

Features include:

• CSS selectors and animations
• DOM manipluation and traversal
• Element styling
• Completely unobtrusive

The main goal of Easy’s framework is to provide a solid base for all of your front-end projects. This CSS/HTML/JavaScript framework is meant to reduce the amount of time spent on setting up the basic master HTML template by reusing the same coding techniques. Easy includes all 3 layers of front-end: structural, presentational and interactive. That makes it the true all-in-one solution for your next front-end project.

Easy is not just a CSS framework designed for building layouts. It includes built-in (JQuery powered) interactive functions and a library of preformatted and precoded CSS/HTML content blocks that you can simply paste into your master template.

Main features include:

• Rock-solid base HTML structure
• Predefined basic CSS styles for both screen and print
• Built-in set of interactive functions (no JavaScript code needed)
• Library of HTML content blocks that can be easily used and reused
• Basic file organization and possibility of expanding the library with your own code

Easy is rock-solid, true all-in-one front-end solution that you can easily use as it is or customize to fit your own needs.

If you are looking for a way to create your own specific chart or image crop and rotate widgets than Raphaël is definitely a choice to consider. This simple to use JavaScript library uses the SVG W3C Recommendation and VML as a base for creating graphics meaning that every graphical object that you create is also a DOM object. Therefore, you can attach JavaScript handlers or modify them later.

Raphaël’s goal is to provide an adapter that will make drawing vector art compatible cross-browser and easy.
