Most CSS3 selectors are +supported. People feel free to contribute patches to bring the API more in +line with jQuery. + +This code is alpha, so expect it to break, and expect the API to change +in the future. + +I would like the thank John Resig for writing jQuery, a kick ass library, +that is a pleasure to use, and I hope to capture that feeling in GWT. Also, +thanks to Robery Nyman for writing the fastest CSS Selector API +implementation (DOMAssistant), which I used as a guide for the GWT +impementation. GwtQuery is in large part, a port of DOMAssistant. + +I am releasing this under the MIT License in the spirit for Robert Nyman's +choice, since the performance of this library wouldn't have been possible +without him. + +Thanks, +Ray Cromwell <ray@timefire.com> +CTO, TimeFire |
