How do you avoid jQuery conflicts with other libraries?

Expert JQuery
Quick Answer Avoid jQuery conflicts: always use $.noConflict() when other libraries (Prototype, Mootools) also use $. Wrap all jQuery code in (function($) {...})(jQuery). Use specific versions via CDN SRI hashes. Namespace all plugin events and data keys. Check $.fn.jquery to verify the loaded version matches expectations. In bundled apps, deduplicate jQuery in your build tool configuration.

Answer

Use $.noConflict().
Wrap code in (function($){ ... })(jQuery).
Keep plugins modular and isolated.
