About

YUI is a legacy, open-source JavaScript and CSS library for building interactive web applications with a focus on modular architecture and cross-browser consistency.

It includes over 30 modules covering DOM manipulation, event handling, animations, data utilities, and UI components, and provides a dependency management system with dynamic module loading.

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.
