Hello.
I use CreateJS . I had chosen it for high levels function that look like Java AWT (I converted some old project from Java to JS), and this project was supported by Adobe and Microsoft. But there are not updates since 2 or 3 years. Why ??
What is the best library nowadays ? I see Konva but now I am not sure, I want to find a famous project supported buy a large communauty.
Please help me !
