jMicro
jMicro - A minimalistic Javascript Framework that works like jQuery
This project was initialy born in Forp-UI :
https://github.com/aterrien/forp-ui
Why ?
You may ask why I made this project and why should you use it ?
1 - Because it's lightweight
If you want to distribute a script that has already a good weight, and you want to put jQuey inside it will take some 60Kb (minified+gzipped)
2 - To avoid conflicts
If you want to provide a standalone widget, you can't handle simply jQuery versions conflicts, and anyway, you will have load 2 versions of jQuery (back reason 1 - weight)
3 - Because coding is fun, and I love make things smaller :)
