Umbrella JS

Umbrella JS is a DOM library with an API modeled on jQuery’s. It selects elements and handles events. A site or web app loads it from a CDN with a script tag, adds a downloaded file, or installs it with npm.

The library adds a handle method, which attaches an event listener and passes the event to a function, and an ajax helper. Some methods, such as append, accept more argument types than their jQuery counterparts. The porting guide describes the differences for code moved from jQuery, and the library uses native DOM methods underneath.

Worth knowing

Older browsers sit outside the supported range: the porting guide lists Internet Explorer 10 and earlier, and SVG in Internet Explorer 11, as unsupported.
