What is the leading LINQ for JavaScript library? [closed]

Question

I'm looking for a JavaScript library that will allow me to query complex JSON objects using a LINQ-like syntax. A quick search found a couple of promising options that look they might offer what I need:

LINQ to JavaScript and jLinq

• Does any one have any experience using them?
• What are some pros and cons?
• Is the performance comparable?
• Does the function-passing syntax of LINQ to JavaScript offer any hidden benefits (I personally find the syntax of jLinq more appealing on first glance)?
• What have you found lacking in either project?
• Did you ever try contacting the authors? How responsive were they?
• What project is more widely used?

I think it will be the first one to get a thorough try-out.

Answer 1

You might want to check out linq.js. It follows the .NET lambda syntax and looks to be well integrated in a Microsoft environment.

LINQ for JavaScript - http://linqjs.codeplex.com/

Pros

• Implements all .NET 4.0 methods
• Complete lazy evaluation
• Full IntelliSense support for VisualStudio
• Supports jQuery
• Supports Windows Script Host
• Binding for Reactive Extensions for JavaScript(RxJS) and IntelliSense Generator
• NuGet install support
• Updated recently (last release Jan 2011)
• Syntax conforms to lambda syntax in C#

Cons

• The linq.js library is a little large.
• If you are already using jQuery or other js library, the most commonly used functionality is probably already available. See especially jQuery's filter, and 'Any' methods.
