How’s it going, I'm a Adam, a Full-Stack Engineer, actively searching for work. I'm all about JavaScript. And Frontend but don't let that fool you - I've also got some serious Backend skills.

jQuery is this old thing that a lot of people used to use (a few still do). It is a library wrote in JavaScript, it is nothing special but became so popular because it made JavaScript easier to write back in 2012. It has no specific purpose but it is particularly good at working with the DOM.
jQuery's legacy is that now modern JavaScript has many of the features jQuery offered.
I would think twice about using it.

So it's Old , but great for DOM?
No Matter how silly the question, you would get better answers with more specific questions but yes that's correct.
Old but good with DOM manipulation
Thank you!
Not only for DOM. It has great event system (super easy delegation, namespaces), quite nice ajax support.
Oh , Thanks !
There are so many powerful plugins made with jQuery too. (like advanced data tables, charts, and so much more)
Oh , Nice !
