Snap.svg is a new OpenSource JavaScript Library by Adobe which claims to be a jQuery for SVG. After looking over the docs I can confirm that statement. It reminds me a little bit of programmatically write Flash graphics with ActionScript. The library author is Dmitry Baranovskiy from Adobe who wrote the predecessor Raphäel.
I will be pleased, if Adobe would include the Library in Adobe Edge Animate an let SVG objects be created within the GUI and Illustrator import capabilites, too.
As soon as possible I’ll try to include Snap.svg in my next projects.
