Yesterday I ran across the jcotton framework for creating canvas applications and I was wondering what the state of the art is.

Do other such frameworks exist?

If so what are their [dis]advantages?

+5  A: 

processing.js

Drawing and animation of stuff on the canvas, doesn't work in IE.

InfoVis Toolkit

Mostly for rendering graphs and complex diagrams.

I would also like to mention that there are also SVG libraries.

Raphaël

Designed to simplify vector graphics on the web, it uses SVG or VML for rendering, so it will work in Internet Explorer.

There are many other solutions for doing more specific things, like drawing graphs, plotting data etc. These are just those I know
