jo is a lightweight JavaScript framework designed for HTML5 apps.

jo does

* Embrace JavaScript’s object model and loosely typed nature
* Leverage CSS3 to handle as much of the pretty presentation and animation as possible
* Provide a consistent and modular event model between objects
* Wrap DOM and device-specific events into a cohesive gesture system
* Insulate developers from different persistent storage solutions
* Play nicely with other libraries like PhoneGap

jo doesn’t

* Use a lot of resources
* Depend on other frameworks
* Have a lot of browser dependent code
* Require detailed knowledge of the DOM
* Force you to deeper into its framework than you want to go
* Use $ and other arcane looking symbols in place of proper identifiers
