It functions as a jQuery-compatible library, allowing developers to select, modify, and animate HTML elements using a concise and chainable syntax. The library includes an asynchronous HTTP client for exchanging data with remote servers without triggering page reloads and a browser-based event handler that supports standard mouse events and mobile touch gestures. Its capability surface covers CSS selector-based querying, element transition animations, and the serialization of web form data. It also provides systems for element-based data storage and the coordination of asynchronous workflows via promises. ## Tags ### User Interface & Experience - [DOM Manipulation Libraries](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/user-interface-experience/dom-manipulation-libraries.md) — Provides a minimalist library for selecting and modifying document elements using a concise and chainable syntax. - [Browser Event Listeners](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/user-interface-experience/browser-event-listeners.md) — Provides mechanisms to capture and respond to standard browser events and mobile touch gestures. - [Interaction and Event Handling](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/user-interface-experience/form-and-input-management/interaction-and-event-handling.md) — Provides a comprehensive system for listening to and responding to mouse and touch interactions within the browser.
