What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

jQuery

A widely-used JavaScript library that simplifies HTML document traversal, element manipulation, event handling, animations, and server communication across different browsers with a compact, easy-to-use API.

Independently observed

SolidJS

Leader

A JavaScript library for constructing user interfaces using fine-grained reactivity, updating only what changes rather than diffing virtual DOMs. Emphasizes performance through reactive primitives and supports modern patterns like async handling, server-side rendering, hydration, and streaming.
