Vanilla Javascript

Most light weight framework to be exist till right now . There are a lot of big tech and non-tech giants who are currently using Vanilla JavaScript in their code base. It also came into consideration that the number of websites that use Vanilla JavaScript is much higher than the number of websites using jQuery. Some of those websites are listed in the below list:

• Google

• Youtube

• Facebook

• Microsoft

• LinkedIn

• Netflix

Stack Overflow etc.

It's just a running gag for framework-loving bosses or people who think you NEED to use a JS framework. It means you just use whatever your (for you own sake: non-legacy) browser gives you (using Vanilla JS when working with legacy browsers is a bad idea).

Benifits

Lot of in-built methods and APIs that we can use in our applications.

features which can reduce code complexity.

Prototype and Class based object system

Dom and traversal system

Reduce in Server Load

Demerits

Securities are compromised , we can see the code of the client easily.

Earlier Websites used to be static . But with coming of vanilla javascript everything has changed.Vanilla JS helped the developers in creating dynamic websites. Then came jQuery, a library of tools created by developers around the world, using Javascript.

So, Vanilla Javascript is just Javascript.
