The new Canvas element in HTML5 is powerful, but it can be difficult to work with. It has no internal concept of display objects, so you are required to manage updates manually. The Easel Javascript library provides a full, hierarchical display list, a core interaction model, and helper classes to make working with Canvas much simpler.
We built Easel based on what we learned while building Pirates Love Daisies, then retrofitted the game to use it. Development on the project would have been a lot simpler if we had Easel from the start.
Easel is being released for free under the MIT license, which means you can use it for almost any purpose (including commercial projects). We appreciate credit where possible, but it is not a requirement.
Examples, API documentation, and the latest version of the library can always be found at EaselJS.com [...]
