What is the 'jQuery' for Html 5?

At least for me, jQuer开发者_StackOverflowy changed javascript in an incredible way, at least for what DOM manipulation/ajax concerns.

Now I am starting to get into HTML 5 and I wonder if there is any library that can do what jQuery did to dom, but for html apis, such as DB storage/ retrieval, gps/location, etc. Some sort of wrapper to simplify the development using this technologies.

thanks!

Probably jQuery will be the jQuery for HTML 5. It already has a rich plugin ecosystem, so some html5-y things will probably make it into core jQuery and the rest will be taken care of as 3rd party plugins. Doing a little googling it looks like there are already quite a few html5-centric plugins available.

Modernizr is making a lot of noise about making HTML5 and CSS3 development easier ... though I haven't had chance to check the internals yet Modinizr Home Page
