I personally really dislike working with jQuery plugins, because their APIs tend to be very poorly thought out. And using strings as a way to call methods is generally unfortunate, especially when they are snake-cased like these ones.

#22If you're looking for a nice validation API that doesn't require jQuery, I've been working on one recently for forms: https://github.com/segmentio/validate I personally really dislike working with jQuery plugins, because their APIs tend to be very poorly thought out. And using strings as a way to call methods is generally unfortunate, especially when they are snake-cased like these ones.
Regarding Formance, it uses jQuery to setup the necessary event listeners to provide the field formatting.
On the other note snake-cased is a preference, I would happily provide camelCased if there is demand.

#24You should make these compatible with Parsley.js: http://parsleyjs.org/documentation.html

#25Somewhat off topic, but I wish there was a credible site out there that reviewed these type of general libraries. There are hundreds of them out there and when I need to find one it usually comes with hours of research trying to decide on the right one to use. It would be great if there was a place to look up the general strengths and weaknesses of each without doing all the necessary leg work.
There is also a really simple guideline to publish your plugin there: http://plugins.jquery.com/docs/publish/
Currently, there is no way to review which plugin is better. But at least it shows the number of watchers for each plugin, which can be an okay indicator whether a plugin is good or bad.

There is the jQuery Plugin Registry ( http://plugins.jquery.com/ ). There aren't many people using it tho.

A good curation/ranking site for all of the various JS libs would be helpful.
Its wasteful for every developer to read the code of numerous JS libs just to figure out which one(s) was(were) written well.
