Some problems, sure. Every problem? I think that's a stretch. Jquery still has it's applicability and can in some cases lead to simpler code.
- cocktailpeanuts 6y agoLike what? The main purpose of jQuery was to have a unified API for dealing with the issue of every browser having their own quirky implementation of the web standard. All of those are gone today and we now have a pretty much standardized Javascript that you can write once and run in any browser.
- jraph 6y agoI never used jQuery, but it seems that two other problems that is solved and that current browsers largely cover now are: - easier AJAX requests (fetch does this) - selecting nodes using CSS-like selectors (querySelector / querySelectorAll) Hiding elements too: HTML now has the hidden attribute. Maybe manipulating HTML/CSS classes? (classList has everything)
