## Vanilla JS - fast, lightweight, cross-platform framework

jQuery-like Aliases (NOT Wrappers) to HTML5 Selector API / Raw Document

* Cross-browser compatible*

  * *HTML5 Selector API is [IE8+](http://www.webdirections.org/blog/html5-selectors-api-its-like-a-swiss-army-knife-for-the-dom/)

  * *XMLHttpRequest is [IE7+](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/XMLHttpRequest)

  * *Element.prototype is [IE8+](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd282900%28VS.85%29.aspx)

* Forget chaining; its [too expensive](http://jsperf.com/jqm3/85)

Inspired by the classic parody [vanilla-js.com](http://vanilla-js.com/).

## Demonstration

```coffeescript

# btw its XHR, not AJAX

# in Node.js callback style

$.xhr 'GET', 'http://coffeescript.org/robots.txt', '', (err, data, status, xhr) ->

  return console.log err, data, status, xhr, xhr.readyState, xhr.status if err

  console.log status

  console.log data

p = $.liveTag('p')

pp = $.all('p')

console.log p.length

console.log pp.length

#console.log $.one('body').append($.create('p'))

console.log $.create('p').appendTo($.one('body'))

console.log p.length # will be +1

console.log pp.length # will be same as before

```
