🆚 jQuery vs. ReactPlayer

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.

ReactPlayer is a React media player component that enables playback of videos and audio from file URLs and multiple online platforms.

It supports YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, Vimeo, HLS, DASH, and other media sources, automatically loads only the required player for each source, offers light mode that displays a thumbnail until playback begins, and supports picture-in-picture, custom controls, and extensible custom players.
