Editing JavaScript (section)

=== Libraries and frameworks ===
Over 80% of websites use a third-party JavaScript [[Library (computing)|library]] or [[web framework]] as part of their client-side scripting.<ref name="lib_usage">{{cite web|url=https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/javascript_library|title=Usage statistics of JavaScript libraries for websites|website=W3Techs|access-date=2021-04-09}}</ref>

[[jQuery]] is by far the most-used.<ref name="lib_usage" /> Other notable ones include <!--alphabetically is fair here-->[[Angular (web framework)|Angular]], [[Bootstrap (front-end framework)|Bootstrap]], [[Lodash]], [[Modernizr]], [[React (software)|React]], [[Underscore.js|Underscore]], and [[Vue.js|Vue]].<ref name="lib_usage" /> Multiple options can be used in conjunction, such as jQuery and Bootstrap.<ref>{{cite web |title=Using jQuery with Bootstrap |url=https://clouddevs.com/jquery/web-projects-with-bootstrap/ |website=clouddevs.com |date=10 June 2019 |access-date=17 March 2024}}</ref>

However, the term "Vanilla JS" was coined for websites not using any libraries or frameworks at all, instead relying entirely on standard JavaScript functionality.<ref>{{cite web |date=2020-06-16 |title=Vanilla JS |url=https://vanilla-js.com/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200616052335/https://vanilla-js.com/ |archive-date=June 16, 2020 |access-date=June 17, 2020 |website=vanilla-js.com}}</ref>
