What is Simples

Simples is a lightweight javascript library loosely based on jQuery. This library is not intended to replace jQuery, but meant to be a lightweight alternative to the well loved library.

Do you do OO JavaScript, make a small website, need a lightweight library, or are just concerned about performance? You are not alone I found I was not using jQuery to its full extent and at times frustrated by its performance. Enter Simples, taking the compatibility and clean interface of jQuery and turning it into a lightweight just enough library.

Where can I use Simples?

Simples is designed to be used in all good modern browsers. Simples is not attempting to fix the individual browser implementations, but provide just enough to have similar behaviour across the browsers.

Can I use jQuery plugins?

Simples, is built in a similar manner to jQuery and can easily add plugins, although with jQuery plugins there will need to be some refactoring and adaptation to use the simples APIs.

How do I get started?

Simples, you download the version you need and load it into your website as you would any other javascript library. Documentation can be found here.
