What Hacker News says
7 sourcesI would like to warn the community and fellow developers about this project.
This project is full of misinformation, claiming "jQuery rewrite", "jQuery language compatibility" and so on. Besides all the buzz words, the disingenuous act of calling it "jQ.Mobi" is some kind of marketing scheme with a misleading name.
Claiming a 'rewrite' is quite a stretch considering jQ.mobi contains 15% of the methods that jQuery has. See http://jsfiddle.net/danheberden/Gs7H8/
Hope you all can take a few seconds and take a look at this issue on GitHub:
https://github.com/appMobi/jQ.Mobi/issues/8
Upvote with caution. Thanks.
In JQuery Rewritten, Ground-Up, for Mobile HTML5 on iOS and Android devicesActually, you're right, it probably doesn't. I always use Backbone with the backbone.modelbinding plugin, so I forgot that it's not part of the Backbone core lib.
edit: Looks like JQ.Mobi does support .data() anyway: https://github.com/appMobi/jQ.Mobi/blob/master/jq.mobi.js#L3...
In JQ.Mobi Is A Mobile-Optimized HTML5 Rewrite Of the JQuery Framework"fully ready to use in production", with absolutely no unit tests, and when the question comes up it's immediately dismissed: https://github.com/appMobi/jQ.Mobi/issues/2
Skip.

That said, it's all open source and there are only so many ways to write these functions succinctly.
