The following information is from the Daniel15 JavaScript Framework website:

---

Simple JavaScript framework I use when I don't need a heavyweight framework like MooTools. Currently contains a very limited feature set (mostly AJAX) which won't be growing much. In general, I aim to support IE 6 and above, as well as the latest versions of Opera, Firefox and Chrome.

Automatically generated API documentation is available at http://dan.cx/projects/jsframework/docs/, this is most likely more up-to-date than the information in this README. Please refer to the code and unit tests for the latest features.

• AJAX
  • Both GET and POST
• Cross-browser event handling
  • Normalisation of events in IE (target, currentTarget, pageX and pageY properties)
  • Onload handler that automatically calls functions based on body ID
  • Event delegation
• DOM functions and DOM object wrapping
  • getElementsByClassName polyfill for IE6 and 7
• General utilities
• Templating (based off Simple JavaScript Templating by John Resig)
• Polyfills for old browsers
  • getElementsByClassName for IE6 and 7
  • HTML5 window.localStorage polyfill
  • Function.prototype.bind, String.prototype.trim
  • JSON.parse
• Simple "class" (prototypal inheritance) implementation

var request = new Ajax('test.php',
{
	onSuccess: function(data)
	{
		console.log(data);
	}
});
request.send();

Uses Util.buildQueryString to encode POST data. Arrays and hashes are sent using PHP syntax

(new Ajax('test.php',
{
	data:
	{
		'hello': 'world',
		// Supports arrays
		'arrayTest': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
		// Supports hashes
		'hashText': 
		{
			'awesome': true,
			'something': 'else'
		}
	},
	onSuccess: function(data)
	{
		console.log(data);
	}
})).send();

Alternatively, the data can be passed to the send() method directly:

(new Ajax('test.php',
{
	onSuccess: function(data)
	{
		console.log(data);
	}
})).send({hello: 'world'});

// Obtaining existing elements
var container = $('container'); // or DOM.get('container')
	
// Element creation
var newEl = DOM.create('div',
{
	id: 'hello-world',
	className: 'awesome',
	innerHTML: 'This is a test!'
});
	
// Element insertion
container.appendChild(newEl); // Insert inside container
container.insertAfter(newEl); // Insert *after* container

// Event handling
newEl.addEvent('click', function() { alert('Clicked!'); });

// Event handling using delegates
DOM.body.addEvent('click', 'a', 'hello', function() { alert('A link with class "hello" was clicked' });

// Appending HTML
newEl.append('Some more HTML here');

Creation:

var Person = new Class(
{
	init: function(name)
	{
		this.name = name;
	},
	helloWorld: function()
	{
		return 'Hello';
	},
	helloWorld2: function()
	{
		return 'Hello2';
	}
});

Instantiation:

var me = new Person('Daniel');
console.log('me.name = ', me.name); // Daniel
console.log('me.helloWorld() = ', me.helloWorld()); // Hello
console.log('me.helloWorld2() = ', me.helloWorld2()); // Hello2
console.log('me instanceof Person = ', me instanceof Person); // true

Inheritance:

var Ninja = Person.extend(
{
	helloWorld2: function()
	{
		return 'Ninja helloWorld2, original = ' + this.parent();
	},
	helloWorld3: function()
	{
		return 'Ninja helloWorld3';
	}
});
	
var awesome2 = new Ninja('Awesome');
console.log('awesome2.name = ', awesome2.name); // Awesome
console.log('awesome2.helloWorld() = ', awesome2.helloWorld()); // Hello
console.log('awesome2.helloWorld2() = ', awesome2.helloWorld2()); // Ninja helloWorld2, original = Hello2
console.log('awesome2.helloWorld3() = ', awesome2.helloWorld3()); // Ninja helloWorld3
console.log('awesome2 instanceof Ninja = ', awesome2 instanceof Ninja); // true
console.log('awesome2 instanceof Person = ', awesome2 instanceof Person); // true

// Building query strings
var stuff = 
{
	hello: 'world',
	foo: 'bar',
	arrayTest: [1, 2, 3],
	objectTest: 
	{
		one: 'two',
		three: 'four'
	}
};

Util.buildQueryString(stuff) // returns hello=world&foo=bar&arrayTest[]=1&arrayTest[]=2&
                             // objectTest[one]=two&objectTest[three]=four


// IE detection
Browser.ie // Contains IE version, or 'undefined' if not using IE

Jasmine is being used for unit tests. They are all located in the "tests" directory - Open "index.htm" in your browser to run them.
