5. ChocolateChip-UI
ChocolateChip-UI provides fully functional widgets and controls right out of the box. In most cases these require minimal to no input from you to implement their functionality. This leaves you more time to find the best way to provide the data that your app will consume. Because one of our goals is to keep things as small as possible, ChocolateChip-UI uses no images to create its widgets and controls, everything is created from WAML and CSS. Where icons are used for buttons, ChocolateChip-UI uses vector-based SVG images. This means that your Web app will always be resolution independent, always crisp and clean. Enjoy the new, ChUI ChocolateChip.

13. XuiJS
xui was born in 2008 while the popular phonegap framework was being developed. it was created out of necessity for a solid dom framework that understood the latency and initialization characteristics of the mobile web. today most frameworks are still catching up to the mobile revolution, tacking on compatibility as an afterthought and, often, only for ios.
xui is the smallest framework that works across all of the devices in the mobile landscape. it does not try and dictate a page structure or widget paradigm. instead, it uses the dom and since most mobile applications consist of lists and buttons, we feel, html and css do a fine job of rendering.
