Ironically, the standard and nicer API that was jQuery’s value proposition has mostly already arrived in browsers.

- horsawlarway 6y agoYup, I can no longer recommend jquery at all unless you happen to need to support IE10 and below (and please, honestly, for the love of god, don't bother).
- marcosdumay 6y agoNah. Nowadays JQuery is a simple and small library with high-level abstractions and convenient synonyms for the standard in browser functionality. Unless you need IE support. If so you need a different version that is quite large.
- horsawlarway 6y agoEh... I still wouldn't recommend adding it to new projects. Why add a new framework that's mostly just a synonym for the standard browser functionality? I'm certainly not going to suggest you stop using it if you've already pulled it in (like you said, it's pretty tiny these days), but most times I just don't think it's worth it. More so if you're not already familiar with it.
