crel

What

a small, simple, and fast DOM creation utility

Why?

Writing HTML is stupid. It's slow, messy, and should not be done in JavaScript.

The best way to make DOM elements is via document.createElement, but making lots of DOM with it is tedious.

crel.js makes the process easier.

Inspiration was taken from https://github.com/joestelmach/laconic, but crel wont screw with your bad in-DOM event listeners, and is smaller, faster, etc...

Usage

To make some DOM:

var element = crel('div', 
    crel('h1', 'Crello World!'),
    crel('p', 'This is crel'),
    crel('input', {type: 'number'})
)

// Do something with 'element'

Goals

Easy to use

Tiny

(easily less than 1K minified)

Fast

crel is fast. Depending on what browser you use, it is up there with straight document.createElement calls.
