## What it is
min.js is a super tiny JavaScript library for simple DOM querying and event listener binding, returning raw DOM nodes for direct manipulation. It offers jQuery-like selectors, event binding/triggering, and chaining in a minimal footprint.

## Use cases
- query dom elements with css selectors
- bind click events without jquery
- trigger custom events in the browser
- loop over matched dom elements
- chain event handlers on elements
- tiny dom library for simple pages

## When to choose
- you need a minimal jquery-like selector and event library
- you want raw dom nodes without wrapper objects
- page weight matters more than features

## When to avoid
- you need event unbinding support
- you need ajax, animations, or ie8 compatibility
- you want an actively maintained library

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, web-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: dom-manipulation, event-handling, micro-library, selector-engine, jquery-alternative
