Tilemapp5js VS CalDOM

When using tilemaps in p5.js, especially in canvas mode, you might just go with the approach this library uses: https://github.com/RandomGamingDev/Tilemapp5js and just draw every tile every frame which is slow. The next best thing is to simply render it to another canvas and then render any changes over it when needed, but this takes up a bunch of vram, requires multiple canvases, as well as still being best used with chunks for performance reasons, and using the CPU for all tile calculations.

Introducing CalDOM, an agnostic, reactive & minimalist (3kb) JavaScript UI library with direct access to native DOM.

Instead of pulling you into a library-specific magical world, CalDOM let you fully access the DOM directly while keeping the reactivity. A 2-in-1 virtual-DOM & no-virtual-DOM approach if you will.

So you could take full advantage of native APIs & mix it with other libraries to gain superior performance & flexibility in the development process.

CalDOM does not require any dependency or tooling. It does not introduce any new syntax. Just pure JS.

This is the first time I’m publishing something like this. This was a simple jQuery alternative I made myself years ago & kept on improving it slowly. Worked really hard during the last few months to add reactivity and get it to this level.

Please check it out & let me know what you think, the good, bad & your suggestions to improve it.
