MrGando I felt '$.' was needed to avoid less typing for developers while at the same time introducing a namespace that doesn't conflict with anything in the developers project. Namespace is needed to avoid conflicts with function names as those same functions could be defined inside another function or class causing compiler errors when building. Before calling this project useless please consider the alternative which is none. Apple will take its time even if you tell them to implement these. You can either implement these helper methods yourself or you can use this or another library. Out of the thousands of people who saw this and liked it I expect few haters like you cause "If people don't hate then it won't be right"
