I’m wondering what are some common misconceptions of jQuery? I’ve found there is a lot of hype around the technology and I’m trying to wonder how much of it is true. And how does it compare to the other Javascript libraries like mootools etc.
It’s all true. I’ve not found a problem that jQuery (or one of its plugins) couldn’t solve.
Admittedly, some would say that including the jQuery library + plugins is an unecessary network traffic cost, but if you compare the jQuery library to an image, for example, the cost seems minimal. Furthermore, with gzip + JS compression, the actual data sent shrinks greatly.
