A small, fast JavaScript library for delegated event listeners in the browser. It lets you bind event handlers with CSS selectors so they work for dynamically added elements without re-binding.

Use cases

• handle click events on dynamically added DOM elements
• attach event listeners with CSS selector matching
• avoid re-binding listeners after DOM updates
• dispatch and listen for custom events on elements
• replace jQuery-style event delegation in vanilla JS

When to choose

• you need event delegation without a full framework
• your page content changes dynamically and listeners must persist
• you want a tiny, dependency-free browser library

When to avoid

• you use a framework like React or Vue with its own event system
• you need server-side or Node.js event handling
• you need complex event state management
