How do you safely migrate from jQuery to vanilla JS or modern frameworks?

Expert JQuery
Quick Answer Migrate jQuery to vanilla JS or frameworks: start with low-risk utilities ($.extend -> Object.assign, $.each -> for...of, $.ajax -> fetch), then event handling ($.on -> addEventListener with delegation via closest()), then DOM manipulation. Extract logic from jQuery plugins into ES6 modules. Replace plugins one at a time. Use TypeScript as you migrate to catch errors.

Answer

Replace jQuery piece by piece.
Remove plugin dependencies gradually.
Replace selectors, AJAX, and animations with native equivalents.
Use temporary adapters to avoid breaking existing modules.
