🆚 MooTools vs. Zepto

MooTools is an open-source JavaScript library that simplifies DOM manipulation, event handling, AJAX, animations, and object-oriented application development.

It extends native JavaScript and DOM objects with additional methods, and provides built-in effects and transitions, CSS selector support, and utilities for cookies and JSON.

Zepto is a lightweight and modular open-source JavaScript library with a largely jQuery-compatible API, designed for modern browsers and optimized for fast execution and small file size.

It provides modules for DOM manipulation, event handling, Ajax and JSONP requests, and simple animation effects, supports a chainable API similar to jQuery, and can be customized through a modular build system that includes only the required components for a project.
