jquery: Detailed Overview & Metrics
jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library that simplifies HTML document traversal, event handling, animation, and AJAX interactions for rapid web development. It provides an easy-to-use API for manipulating the DOM, handling events, and making asynchronous HTTP requests. jQuery's cross-browser compatibility and extensive plugin ecosystem have made it a popular choice for front-end development.
While jQuery was widely used in the past, its usage has declined with the rise of modern JavaScript frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue. Many of jQuery's features are now natively supported by modern browsers, and developers are encouraged to use vanilla JavaScript or framework-specific solutions for better performance and maintainability.
