psQuery is a jQuery-like DOM library. It aims to cover just the 'core' jQuery use cases (CSS, ajax, DOM) using 'modern' native methods (JSON, document.querySelectorAll, etc) so that it can be fast and light. In some ways it was inspired by Zepto.js but with IE8+ compatibility in mind. It does this all in less than 2kb gzipped+minified.

psQuery targets most non-deprecated methods from the jQuery 2.1+ API except for these:

• Deferred
• Effects
• Animation
• Custom jQuery Selectors (e.g. :eq, :has, etc)
• Most event shorthands

psQuery is a work-in-progress. So far only the core ajax, CSS, and some DOM methods are supported. If there is something that isn't working for you then drop me a line, or even better, a pull request.
