Jsu

Jsu (read JSU) stands for and provides JavaScript Utilities. It targets older browser versions first unless there is a security risk, missing functionality or poor performance in newer browsers. Support for Internet Explorer is not an option as Microsoft Edge is its successor.

The features provided by Jsu were originally part of the nvc project. Most of these features, such as type checking or timer events can be found in other utility libraries. In case you find these libraries too large as a dependency, or if they require too new JavaScript technologies, among other disadvantages, you can use Jsu as a possible fallback. For example, jsu_event.js supports generic and timer events in just a few lines of code.

Overall, Jsu is not a substitute for libraries such as jQuery or others with convenient functions like isEqual() performing deep comparison of arbitrary objects.
