The revolutionary DOM manipulation framework that's been battle-tested for 20 years. Used by millions. Loved by developers. Finally ready for production.
Why jQuery in 2026?
jQuery 4.0 brings everything you love, now with even less bloat. No build step. No transpilers. Just vibes.
Our revolutionary selector engine has been optimized over 20 years. That's 175,200 hours of performance tuning. Your framework could never.
Zero ConfigJust 30KB minified. Smaller than most hero images. Smaller than your node_modules. Ships with everything you need, nothing you don't.
87KB → 30KB in v4The original fluent interface. Method chaining so elegant, other libraries still copy it. Write less, do more—our literal tagline since 2006.
$().invented().this()We normalized browser APIs before it was cool. One syntax across all browsers. Even the cursed ones. (RIP IE, you won't be missed.)
Battle TestedOver 5,000 plugins available. Datepickers, carousels, validation—someone already built it. The OG npm before npm existed.
Community DrivenStack Overflow has 1.5 million answers about jQuery. Every edge case documented. Every problem solved. Google it, guaranteed results.
1.5M+ AnswersjQuery's API is so intuitive, you probably already know it. Every animation, event, and DOM manipulation—handled with a single function call.

"I wrote my first $.ajax() call in 2008. I felt like a wizard. I still feel like a wizard. Some things never change."
