I was working on a javascript project using jQuery 2.1.0 for ajax request (among other things) and now I need to get rid of the jQuery dependency.
To keep this change as simple as possible I need to find a light-standalone library that provides an ajax abstraction layer (just ajax if it's possible) maintaining the exact same jQuery 2.1.0 ajax interface. I specially need that the request returns the same promise as jQuery would do.
I've tried jQuery custom builds and Zepto custom builds, but they are still too heavy for just having an ajax abstraction layer.
