I post this post not to make a comparsion between prototype and jquery,I just want to get some suggestions.
In our application we want to provide a base javascript lib for other people use. So we may have to create some classes,may use the extend/create functions.
However the jquery is so wonderful when do some operation with the dom element,so I want to know when to use the prototype and when to use jquery?
In our project,which is better? Since we do not use them both at the same time,the prototype seems do not play nice with other js libs.
They both provide the same functionality more or less, I personally prefer jQuery for having a more “logical” interface and very easy to extend.
