About

jQuery is a fast, small, feature-rich JavaScript library designed to simplify HTML DOM tree traversal and manipulation, event handling, CSS animations, and Ajax.

It provides a cross-browser selector engine, formerly known as Sizzle, supports deferred and promise objects for asynchronous workflows, has built-in JSON parsing and utility functions, and allows extensibility through a large ecosystem of plugins.

Raphaël is a JavaScript vector library for manipulating SVG graphics.

It supports SVG and VML rendering, path drawing, animations, transformations, drag-and-drop interactions, custom attributes, and DOM event handling, and serves as the graphics foundation for libraries such as gRaphaël and Morris.js.
