Intention.js is a lightweight JavaScript library from Dow Jones that manipulates the DOM via HTML attributes to handle responsive design on a per-element basis. It lets developers declare how elements should change (classes, attributes, placement) across device contexts like width thresholds, orientation, touch, and high-res displays.

Use cases

• restructure html elements responsively without media query css overrides
• swap image sources per device breakpoint via html attributes
• move advertising markup placement depending on desktop vs mobile
• apply different classes to elements on mobile vs tablet
• load alternate widgets on touch-enabled devices
• trigger custom javascript when a responsive context changes

When to choose

• you want responsive DOM restructuring declared directly in html attributes
• you need per-element responsive behavior beyond what css media queries offer
• your stack already uses jquery and underscore

When to avoid

• starting a new project - the library is unmaintained with no releases since 2014
• you prefer modern responsive techniques like css media queries, container queries, or framework-based approaches
• you want to avoid jquery/underscore dependencies
