**What do you like best about Zepto.Js?**

Zepto is simple, fast, yet very effective software. Because of it's simplicity of nature, you don't need any pre-requisite to use Zepto.   You can just go ahead and use it.

**What do you dislike about Zepto.Js?**

There will be a problem arises with browser compatibility and Query coverage. Since it's fast compared to other software in the market, Zepto recommends having a certain number of libraries.

The traditional Jquery software are not fast as compared to Zepto. I was able to run my codes quickly. Also,  the API Compatibility is very good as I wanted it to be.

  ### 2. A minimal, lightning fast jQuery alternative

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**What do you like best about Zepto.Js?**

I have used Zepto in a project where I needed jQuery-like syntax but way less clutter and a minimal footprint. jQuery has become quite the behemot in recent versions, and sometime I feel it is a bit overblown for most of the normal use cases (at least for me). Zepto allowed me to change JS framework and save 100 Kbytes without leaving my comfort zone as a jQuery user, as the syntax is almost 1:1.

**What do you dislike about Zepto.Js?**

It has a few limitations compared to jQuery, and real world tests have proved it is actually a little bit slower, despite being so much smaller (and thus loading faster). Also, don't expect to seamlessly be able to switch frameworks when using third party plugins requiring jQuery, chances are they won't work.

**Recommendations to others considering Zepto.Js:**

When using Webkit browsers or web views, Zepto can help achieving the desired functionality using the same skill set in a fraction of the space taken by jQuery as it is leaner, but a web developer needs to be aware of some limitations.

**What problems is Zepto.Js solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Zepto helped me tackle a particular digital signage project where jQuery was out of scope. It turned out pretty well, and it's till in use on more than 150 clients in a primary italian airport.
