GwtQuery is a jQuery-like API written in GWT, which allows GWT to be used in progressive enhancement scenarios where perhaps GWT widgets are too heavyweight.

Currently, only a part of the jQuery API is written. Most CSS3 selectors are supported. People feel free to contribute patches to bring the API more in line with jQuery.

This code is alpha, so expect it to break, and expect the API to change in the future.

I would like the thank John Resig for writing jQuery, a kick ass library, that is a pleasure to use, and I hope to capture that feeling in GWT. Also, thanks to Robery Nyman for writing the fastest CSS Selector API implementation (DOMAssistant), which I used as a guide for the GWT impementation. GwtQuery is in large part, a port of DOMAssistant.

I am releasing this under the MIT License in the spirit for Robert Nyman's choice, since the performance of this library wouldn't have been possible without him.

I am also releasing this in a form that has no deployable or build file, hastily for the Google I/O conference. A more usable, downloadable library to follow in a day or so.

Thanks, Ray
