Fantastic Micro-Frameworks and
Micro-Libraries for Fun
and Profit!
How much library code do you really need — 50K? 100K? 150K? More? How
much of that do you really use?
Sure, we all love our favorite monolithic frameworks, and sometimes we
even use them fully. But how often do we reach for the ride-on John
Deere tractor with air conditioning and six-speaker sound system, when
a judiciously applied pocketknife would do the trick better, faster,
slicker?
Micro-frameworks are definitely the pocketknives of the JavaScript
library world: short, sweet, to the point. And at 5k and under,
micro-frameworks are very very portable. A micro-framework does one
thing and one thing only — and does it well. No cruft, no featuritis,
no feature creep, no excess anywhere.
Microjs.com helps you discover the most compact-but-powerful
microframeworks, and makes it easy for you to pick one that’ll work
for you.
