15 New JavaScript Libraries for Developers
A JavaScript library is a library of pre-written JavaScript which allows for easier development of JavaScript-based applications, especially for AJAX and other web-centric technologies. The primary use of JavaScript is to write functions that are embedded in or included from HTML pages and interact with the Document Object Model (DOM) of the page.
For this roundup I have built list of 15 New JavaScript Libraries released recently, the following JavaScript Libraries are useful and serve almost every purpose for developers. Let's take a look at the list.
1. Stretchy
Stretchy is a javascript library to make form elements autosizing, the way it should be.
2. Jet.js
Jets.js is a javascript library to create native css search engine. The main idea is not to affect attributes of each tag in the list while filtering. Instead apply dynamic CSS rule in only style tag and browser will decide which item of list to show or hide. Since it's just CSS - Jets.js may be applied to any tag, whether it's a table or UL, OL, DIV.
3. NippleJS
nippleJS is a javascript library to create virtual joystick for touch capable interfaces.
4. UpUp
UpUp is a tiny javascript library that makes sure your users can always access your site’s content, even when they’re on a plane, in an elevator, or 20,000 leagues under the sea. Mobile-First has become the de-facto standard for building modern sites. But in a world where everyone is mobile, an always-on connection isn’t something we can rely on.
5. LoadJS
LoadJS is a tiny async loading library for modern browsers. It has a simple yet powerful dependency management system that lets you fetch files in parallel and execute code after the dependencies have been met.

10. Spectacle
Spectacle is a React-powered presentation library. With Spectacle you can write slides with JSX. It supports a presenter view, so you can see the next side and the current time. If you’re currently addicted to React then this will probably be preferable to messing around in Keynote/PowerPoint/etc.
