jQuery to Vanilla JS
This converter turns commonly used jQuery methods into modern vanilla JavaScript. You can remove the jQuery dependency step by step and use leaner, faster code.
Covered patterns
- Selectors, events, classes and attributes
- Value access like val, text, html and css
- Visibility, loops and DOM ready
The converter works on a safe subset. Uncovered methods stay unchanged and are marked with a TODO hint. Please review the output before using it in production, because automatic conversion can never be a hundred percent guaranteed.
Frequently asked questions
Which jQuery methods can I convert?
The converter covers common areas: selectors, events, classes and attributes as well as values such as val, text, html and css. Visibility, loops and DOM ready are supported too.
What happens to methods that are not covered?
Uncovered methods stay unchanged and are marked with a TODO hint. This lets you see at once which spots you should review manually.
Is the conversion safe?
The converter works on a safe subset, but automatic conversion can never be guaranteed a hundred percent. Review the output before using it in production.
Can I remove jQuery completely with this?
In many cases the converter helps reduce the dependency step by step. For a complete removal you also have to handle the remaining TODO spots and project details manually.
Why should I replace jQuery with vanilla JS?
Vanilla JavaScript is leaner and faster because no library has to be loaded. Especially for simple projects this saves load time and reduces dependencies.
Are my code snippets uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your code is not transmitted to our server or stored.
