Qwery is a 1k blazing fast query selector engine allowing you to select elements with CSS1 & CSS2 selectors (including attribute selectors). And according to our benchmarks Qwery is 2x faster (at minimum on average) than Sizzle (from jQuery).
// basic
#foo // id
.bar // class
#foo a // descendents
#foo a.bar element attribute comibination
// attributes
#foo a[href] // simple
#foo a[href=bar] // attribute values
#foo a[href^=http://] // attribute starts with
#foo a[href$=com] // attribute ends with
#foo a[href*=twitter] // attribute wildcards
// combos
div,p
// variations
#foo.bar.baz
div#baz.thunk a[-data-info*="hello world"] strong
#thunk[title$='huzza']
Each query can optionally pass in a context
qwery('div', node); // existing DOM node or...
qwery('div', '#foo'); // another query

Qwery uses JSHint to keep some house rules as well as UglifyJS for its compression. For those interested in building Qwery yourself. Run make in the root of the project.

Qwery uses querySelectorAll when available. All querySelectorAll default behavior then applies.
