jQuery can do some nice things for you. It also frees you from having to take care for different browsers. The tradeoffs are the size and readability jQuery s own code.
Is there a similar library that purely relies on the new HTML5 APIs like draggable
, querySelector
, postMessage
, etc. ? It should support jQuery s basic stuff, such as querying, basic animation, drag&drop, xhr, etc.

[Edit] 9muses proposed zepto.js, which might be a good starting point.
