It tells you what HTML, CSS and JavaScript features the user’s browser has to offer.
What is Sugar? A Javascript library for working with native objects. It is a Javascript library that extends native objects with helpful methods. It is designed to be intuitive, unobtrusive, and let you do more with less code.
