javascriptjavascript-frameworkhigh-level

Is there a javascript library that contains a rich set of very high level commonly used functions?

I find that many high level functions are missing in most well-known javascript libraries such as jquery, YUI...etc. Taking string manipulation as an example, startsWith, endsWith, contains, lTrim, rTrim, trim, isNullOrEmpty...etc. These function are actually very common ones.

I would like to know if there exists a javascript library/ plugin of a javascript library that fills these gaps (including but not limited to string manipulation)?

It would be great if the library does not override the prototype.

Solution

  • Take a look at underscore.js (sadly, no string manipulation, but lots of other good stuff).
