Because this library is standards-based it means that you don’t have to learn a new API. It uses standard (DOM, ECMAScript) properties and methods throughout which also means that there is no need for a lot of accompanying documentation.

base2

base2 is a lightweight library that irons out all the annoying differences in JavaScript implementations. It provides the additional functionality from JavaScript 1.6+ that only Mozilla browsers implement. It also adds some features from ES4. The library is only 6KB (gzipped).

base2.DOM

• A fast implementation of the Selectors API
• Fixes broken browser implementations of the DOM events module including document.createEvent(), dispatchEvent(), addEventListener(), etc
• Supports DOMContentLoaded
• Fixes getAttribute()/setAttribute()/hasAttribute() (Internet Explorer)
• Implements getElementsByClassName()
• Implements a few other useful DOM methods like getComputedStyle() and compareDocumentPosition()
• Supports a variety of browsers including ancient browsers like IE5.0 (Windows and Mac)
