🆚 jQuery vs. TanStack Query

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.

TanStack Query, formerly React Query, is an asynchronous state management library that handles fetching, caching, synchronizing, and updating server state.

It provides declarative data fetching, automatic caching with background refetching, mutations with optimistic updates and rollback, pagination and infinite queries, dedicated DevTools, and a framework-agnostic core with bindings for React, Vue, Solid, Svelte, and Angular.
