The first thing you will probably notice is the considerable decrease in the number of jQuery plugins in this collection, when compared to last year. What we’re seeing instead is smaller, lighter and standalone JavaScript libraries being built without all of the jQuery bloat.
There are now more targeted problem-solving solutions, rather than having to use huge frameworks just so that you can use one or two functions. We’re rapidly evolving into a faster, leaner, and user-friendlier web!
All of the resources have been categorized into the following sections: Charts & Graphs, Carousels, Sliders & Galleries, Javascript Typography, Responsive Image Solutions, Image Editing, Lazy Loading, Form Plugins, Accessibility Tools, Animation Plugins & Libraries, and finally a bunch of Useful Javascript Utilities.
