Commit summary for MediaWiki.r112019: add basic utilities library going forward it would be nice to provide access to whatever library is used whether it is a basic set of functions for modules that cannot use jquery, jquery itself or something more minimal like zepto or xuijs the addClass and removeClass functions are needed for my next commit which will rewrite fullscreen search in the beta to use css Jdlrobson's comment: Yes. There are several libraries including zepto [1] and xui [2]. I understand that several mobile devices cannot run jquery due to the payload of the library using up all their memory and crashing the browser and that these modules/plugins need to be able to run in native javascript or using a very slim library (I'm not sure if xui or zepto are slim enough as I am still new and familiarising myself with the problem space! ). Can anyone point me at links to these discussions? I know that the android app for wikipedia [1] currently uses jquery so I imagine a situation where the MobileFrontend extension could work with either jquery or some other library (in this case the utils library is a handwritten one which I agree is not a long term solution but would be interchangeable with jquery or zepto) and certain enhancements to the mobile frontend would only work in situations where a particular library was available.
