Goals

For the average project, 87kb or so worth of jQuery - minified - is unnecessary. Grindstone.js handles many commonly used methods while weighing in at just 13kb (minified).

This library does not aim to replace jQuery.

Grindstone.js supports the following browsers:

Browser	Version
Chrome	4.0+
Firefox	3.5+
Edge	13+
IE	10+
Safari	3.2+
Opera	10.0+

Documentation

As is the case with jQuery, usage is as follows:

$(selector[, context]);

Extending Grindstone.js by adding new methods is as easy as well:

$.fn => Grindstone.prototype

$.fn.someNewMethod = function() {};

$(selector).someNewMethod();

Full documentation on all methods is below.
