A curated awesome-list of guides and resources showing when popular JavaScript libraries and tools (Lodash, Moment.js, Redux, jQuery, etc.) can be replaced with native browser APIs or simpler alternatives. It is a documentation/education repository, not runnable software.

Use cases

  • find native alternatives to lodash methods
  • decide whether I need moment.js for date handling
  • learn when redux is overkill for a react app
  • replace axios with the fetch api
  • do things in css instead of javascript
  • avoid unnecessary transpilation of javascript

When to choose

  • you want curated links on avoiding heavy dependencies in JavaScript projects
  • you are evaluating whether a popular library is necessary for your use case

When to avoid

  • you need runnable code or a tool rather than a link collection
  • you need up-to-date guidance, as the list has not been updated since 2021
