Hey! Today I will tell you the best JavaScript libraries in 2022!


```
Let`s start
``` 


**jQuery**

jQuery is a classic JavaScript library that’s fast, light-weight, and feature-rich. It was built in 2006 by John Resig at BarCamp NYC. jQuery is free and open-source software with a license from MIT.

It makes things simpler for HTML document manipulation and traversal, animation, event handling, and Ajax.

According to W3Techs, 77.6% of all sites use jQuery (as of 23rd February 2021).

**Features/Benefits:**

- It has an easy-to-use, minimalistic API.
-     It uses CSS3 selectors in manipulating style properties and finding elements.
-     jQuery is lightweight, taking just 30 kb to gzip and minify, and supports an AMD module.
-     As its syntax is quite similar to that of CSS, it is easy for beginners to learn.
-     Extendable with plugins.
-     Versatility with an API that supports multiple browsers, including Chrome and Firefox.

**React.js**

React.js is an open-source, front-end JavaScript library. It was created in 2013 by Jordan Walke, who works at Facebook as a software engineer.

Now, it has the MIT license but was initially released under the Apache License 2.0. React was designed to make interactive UI creations painless.

Just design a simple view for individual states in your app. Next, it will render and update the right component efficiently upon data changes.

**Features/Benefits:**

   - The React code comprises components or entities that need rendering to a specific element in DOM with the help of a React DOM library.
-     It uses a virtual DOM by creating an in-memory cache in a data structure, computing the difference, and updating the display DOM in the browser efficiently.
-     Due to this selective rendering, the app performance boosts while saving the developers’ efforts in recalculating the page layout, CSS styles, and full-page rendering.
-     It uses lifecycle methods like render and componentDidMount to allow code execution at specific points during an entity’s lifetime.
-     It supports JavaScript XML (JSX) that combines both JS and HTML. It helps in component rendering with nested elements, attributes, JS expressions, and conditional statements.
