## What it is
A website and open-source resource showing how to replace common jQuery patterns with native browser JavaScript (fetch, querySelector, etc.), organized by browser support level. It is built with Astro and published at YouMightNotNeedjQuery.com.

## Use cases
- find vanilla JS equivalent of a jQuery snippet
- remove jQuery dependency from a library
- learn fetch instead of $.ajax
- check browser support for DOM APIs
- migrate legacy code off jQuery

## When to choose
- you want to drop jQuery and use native browser APIs
- you need copy-paste alternatives organized by IE/modern browser support
- you are building a library and want minimal dependencies

## When to avoid
- you need a runnable library or utility package rather than reference snippets
- you must support very old browsers like IE8 with complex jQuery features
- you want a codemod or automated migration tool

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, documentation
- domain: web-development, frontend, education, tutorials
- platform: -
- tags: jquery, vanilla-javascript, browser-compatibility, reference-site, frontend, web, nodejs
