What's your favourite JS library? I've been working quite a bit myself with jQuery, lots of addons made by people. Liking it so far, but YUI also looks good. What librabry do you all recommend? And why? smile.gif

I'm not much of a JS programmer, but I have heard great things about jQuery and the features that can be achieved with it with minimal code.

Most of the libraries have functions that i use independently so i find myself using most of them (Sometimes in unison - depending on library).

jQuery works great for most of the functions i use though. YUI Have a great carousel model which i do use quite a bit.

Which library to use depends often on what needs to be done. However, without such restrictions my favourite at the moment would be MooTools. As a programmer, MooTools has a much more polished feel whereas using jQuery always feels like hacking in little bits of usefulness.

Im pretty new at JS, only been coding for a year or so. I prefer jQuery as I know what can be done with it and many of my creatives are designed for coding now-a-days. So from the first mockup stage jQuery's is taking into mind.

Latest work with jQuery's:

Simple div replacement, works extremely well!

I've heard really good things about jQuery, but as mentioned above i'm not really involved with JS too much but it's something i'd like to learn in the near future, but jQuery is the library i'll be using for sure.

I've never really worked with JS but if I was going to I would probably work with jQuery. Simply because it is the one I've heard most about.

/hate jquery. I used to love it until I found mootools. Personally I feel jquery is great for someone who doesn't mind less efficient code but doesn't want to write a lot (aka beginners). Mootools takes a lot more core but is a lot smoother and faster with its calls. I recorded a 8ms difference between jquery and mootools (jquery came in with a 16ms response and mootools with a 8ms response.) Based on a .01% server load. Only downside about mootools is the community and documentation are lacking but for any experienced javascript programmer that really isn't an issue.

That's just my view, what's yours?...

jQuery looks really good.

I use jQuery because thats what I was bought into js using - logical to continue using it.

I believe nettuts.com ran an article on jQuery 1.3.1 (latest) and it has been shown to perform best in many areas according to their benchmark test.
