A reference guide showing how to replace common jQuery methods (query selectors, DOM manipulation, CSS, Ajax, events, animation) with native browser JavaScript APIs, targeting IE 10+ and modern browsers. It is a documentation/tutorial repository rather than a library, with translations in many languages.

Use cases

• drop jQuery dependency from a project
• learn native DOM APIs instead of jQuery
• find vanilla JS equivalent of a jQuery method
• migrate legacy code from jQuery to modern JavaScript
• replace jQuery ajax with fetch
• query and manipulate the DOM without a library

When to choose

• you want to remove jQuery from a codebase and need side-by-side equivalents
• you are learning modern browser DOM/BOM APIs
• you target modern browsers or IE 10+ and want zero-dependency JavaScript

When to avoid

• you need a drop-in library with guaranteed cross-browser behavior and edge-case handling
• you rely on jQuery plugins or its ecosystem
• you need a runnable tool rather than reference documentation
