> Not all API's will understand this Who’s talking about APIs? Most jQuery users I know just use jQuery to submit forms and load some JSON, both of which are covered by fetch without altering the headers manually. What I’m saying is that it’s not fair to judge a tool for something you don’t have to do with it, namely sending JSON for everything. Fetch also supports native binary uploads, whereas most people base64 data when using $.ajax > makes writing for the web so much more enjoyable Writing? I agree. Actually making it work? No way. $('forn').hide() doesn’t work, but the browser will never tell you why (hint: wrong selector). jQuery errors are often silent, and that’s good enough reason to abandon it.
