We use jQuery Mobile inside a PhoneGap app designed for iOS devices.
But it requires jQuery, which is very large.
The primary reason for using JQM is to help with page transitions, event management (e.g., bind, live, on), and touch events.
Are there lightweight alternatives to JQM that provide similar functionality? We know about Zepto and XUI.
We don’t need the interface layer since we handle that on our own.
What are your experiences with these alternatives?
Ultimately, we built our page transitions and tap event handling. Super simple, maybe two hours of work at most. This was the best alternative for us since all the other libraries offered a lot more than we needed. If all you need is basic page transitions and tap events, we recommend going this route as well. Otherwise, take a look at the options mentioned previously.
