## What it is
QuoJS is a micro, modular JavaScript library for mobile web development that provides DOM traversal, event handling, touch/gesture events, and Ajax interactions in a tiny 5-6k gzipped footprint. It uses the $$ namespace so it can coexist with jQuery or Zepto, and is written in CoffeeScript.

## Use cases
- handle touch and gesture events like tap, swipe, pinch, and rotate in mobile web apps
- manipulate the DOM with a lightweight jQuery-like API
- make Ajax requests without pulling in jQuery
- build fast mobile web pages where library size matters
- use a small JavaScript library alongside jQuery without $ conflicts
- support mobile browsers like Android, FirefoxOS, and Blackberry

## When to choose
- you need a tiny (~6k gzipped) jQuery-like library optimized for mobile touch events
- you want gesture support (tap, swipe, pinch, rotate) without a large framework
- you need to coexist with jQuery or Zepto via the $$ namespace
- you target older mobile browsers like FirefoxOS or Blackberry

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained library with active updates and modern browser support
- you're building with modern frameworks like React or Vue
- you need desktop gesture support (not available)
- you prefer ES6+ JavaScript over CoffeeScript-era codebases
