I wonder what’s the better API jQuery has compared to vanilla Js Tbf
Jquery is just shorthand, really -- unless things have changed in the last decade (which doesn't seem likely in the world of technology! /s), jquery is basically a way to stop writing
document. GetElementById()
andelement.classList.add()
over and over.Don't get me wrong, that shorthand was a valuable and unique addition to a tool set -- jQuery code was much easier to read and maintain than vanilla js, for sure. But I feel like now that websites usually have build steps, using jQuery involves a lot more effort than just not using it, that, with its kind of naive approach to DOM manipulation, is where the hate comes from, imo. It's probably still a great choice in a traditional LAMP stack build.
