Raphaël: JavaScript Vector Graphics Library

Raphaël is a JavaScript library designed to simplify working with vector graphics on the web. It uses SVG for modern browsers (Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera) and VML for older Internet Explorer, providing a consistent API across different rendering engines. The current stable version is 2.3.0, released in 2018. The library is largely considered feature-complete but is no longer actively maintained, with the last code changes dating back several years. Key differentiators include its cross-browser compatibility, especially its VML fallback for legacy IE, and its relatively small footprint. Development is dormant, with releases historically occurring sporadically as PRs were gathered and tested. It relies on the `eve` library for custom event handling.
