EJ: Essential JavaScript The Library
Written by on November 14th, 2006 in Ajax News.
You don’t need no fancy libraries! Robert Nyman thinks that:
The web is littered with full-blown JavaScript libraries who say they will save your day and make your web development life much easier. You get encouraged to include these “mere 80 KB” libraries that is supposed to be the solution to all your needs, and practically make the web site work by itself. Needless to say, I’m not a big follower of JavaScript libraries,, especially since they almost always include lots of superfluous code, so I thought I’d put together a tiny library with only essential JavaScript functions.
The result is that he added another library to the mix: EJ - Essential JavaScript, which consists of useful JS functions:
- $. The old favourite. No fancy arrays here though
- getElementsByClassName
- addClassName
- removeClassName
- getElementsByAttribute
- preventDefaultBehavior
- getStyle
