A tiny Javascript library to interact with the DOM

jQuery has a nice API easy to remember compared to the Javascript API. jQuery offers plenty of possibilities to interact with the DOM but it may be overkill if you just need to use a few percent of this API.

PicoQ has been created with the objective to offer a library that implements the most used Javascript functions to interact with the DOM with an API similar to jQuery.

PicoQ has definitely not the ambition to compete with jQuery. It aims to be an option when you just need to use few percent of the jQuery API.

Besides, PicoQ is implemented in a module pattern exporting only the name PicoQ outside the module. It could easily be included in your own library without polluting your library space. You can then ship your library without any external dependencies.
