zepto: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Zepto is a minimalist JavaScript library for modern browsers with a largely jQuery-compatible API. It provides a fast and lightweight alternative to jQuery, focusing on core functionalities like DOM manipulation, event handling, and Ajax requests. Zepto is designed to be modular, allowing developers to include only the necessary components to keep the library size small.
Compared to jQuery, Zepto offers a smaller footprint and better performance for mobile web development due to its streamlined feature set. However, Zepto is considered deprecated as it is no longer actively maintained. It is recommended to use modern alternatives like jQuery, Axios, or native browser APIs for DOM manipulation and Ajax requests.
