light.js
A high-level reactive JS library optimized for light clients.

What is light.js?
Light.js is a library originally by Parity Technologies written in JavaScript for building DApps that run efficiently on light clients. Developers using Light.js can maintain high performance while running on a light client while avoiding the maintenance and infrastructure of full nodes. Light.js is a reactive library. This means developers call single functions while the library picks the best pattern to handle the query behind the scenes. Note: Light.js was archived in May 2022 and is no longer actively maintained.
