## What it is
Sprint.js is a tiny 5KB gzipped DOM manipulation library with a jQuery-like chainable API, built for modern browsers (IE10+). It offers a reduced feature set compared to jQuery in exchange for significantly faster parsing, execution, and DOM operations.

## Use cases
- manipulate the DOM with a jQuery-like API
- reduce JavaScript bundle size on mobile devices
- speed up DOM queries and element manipulation
- replace jQuery in modern-browser-only projects
- build lightweight interactive pages without a framework

## When to choose
- you only need to support modern browsers (IE10+)
- bandwidth and performance on mobile devices are critical
- you want jQuery ergonomics without jQuery's size
- your DOM manipulation needs fit Sprint's reduced feature set

## When to avoid
- you need legacy browser support (IE9 or older)
- you rely on jQuery plugins or its full feature set
- you need long-term maintenance and active updates
- you are building a component-based SPA with a modern framework

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: dom-manipulation, jquery-alternative, lightweight, performance
