🆚 jQuery vs. Prism

jQuery is a fast, small, feature-rich JavaScript library designed to simplify HTML DOM tree traversal and manipulation, event handling, CSS animations, and Ajax.

It provides a cross-browser selector engine, formerly known as Sizzle, supports deferred and promise objects for asynchronous workflows, has built-in JSON parsing and utility functions, and allows extensibility through a large ecosystem of plugins.

Prism is a lightweight, extensible syntax highlighter designed for fast client-side code highlighting in web pages and documentation systems.

It supports nearly 300 languages and includes plugins covering line numbering, line highlighting, automatic linking, code folding, copy-to-clipboard buttons, and customizable language definitions.
