Why write Bytes.js?

This is probably one of the first questions which pops up. To put it in one sentence:

"I wanted a lean, mean, non-bloated, cross-browser compatible JS library useful for dealing with some of the most common tasks done when writing Javascript".

First of all, I'm a big fan of lightweight utility tools that do not have any dependencies. That is why I often check out vX.js when searching for a useful Javascript snippet. I don't want to use jQuery without thinking about it being too much for the job.

So with vX.js as starting point, I have written Bytes.js. A lightweight JS library written in a fair amount of bytes. It is 2501 bytes when uncompressed, 1643 bytes when minified and 856 bytes when minified and gzipped.

Tested with QUnit

Bytes.js is tested with QUnit and is currently compatible with the following browsers:

• Internet Explorer 6+
• Firefox 3+
• Opera 10.6+
• Google Chrome 14+
• Safari 4+

Please note that complex CSS selectors are only supported in browsers with querySelectorAll(). You can run the tests yourself by clicking right here.

Installation

Setting up Bytes.js is only a matter of adding a simple script include tag:

<script src="http://archan937.github.io/bytes.js/bytes.js"></script>
