Is jQuery the right choice for you?
It's a great fit if…
- If you need older browser compatibility and a unified API for DOM and Ajax.
- If your project uses third-party jQuery plugins.
- If you need the JavaScript library with the largest plugin ecosystem.
It might not be for you if…
- If you develop modern applications with frameworks like Vue.js or AngularJS, which have their own DOM management.
- If you only target modern browsers where the native DOM API is already simple enough.
