Benchmark: Vanilla JS VS JQuery DOM perfomance(no var)

HTML Preparation code:

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="nhngodo">Hi! NHNgodo!</div>

Tests:

Vanilla JS
document.getElementById("nhngodo").innerText = "Hi! NHNgodo!";
Jquery
$("#nhngodo").text("Hi! NHNgodo!");

Let's break down the benchmark definition and results.

**What is being tested?**

The test case compares the performance of two approaches for updating the text content of an HTML element:

1. **Vanilla JavaScript**: Using the native `document.getElementById()` method to select the element and then setting its innerText property.
2. **jQuery**: Using the jQuery library's `$()` method to select the element and then calling the `.text()` method to update its content.

**What are the pros/cons of each approach?**

1. **Vanilla JavaScript**:
	* Pros: No external library dependencies, native browser functionality.
	* Cons: Requires manual DOM manipulation and event handling.
2. **jQuery**:
	* Pros: Simplified DOM manipulation and event handling, extensive library support for common tasks.
	* Cons: External library dependencies, potential performance overhead.

**Library used: jQuery**

The test case uses the jQuery library (version 3.1.1) to perform the DOM update. jQuery is a popular JavaScript library that simplifies HTML document traversal, manipulation, and event handling. It provides a consistent API across different browsers and platforms.

**JS feature or syntax used: None special**

There are no specific JavaScript features or syntax used in this test case beyond what's mentioned above (e.g., `document.getElementById()`, `$()`).

**Alternatives to jQuery**

If you need to perform similar DOM updates without using jQuery, consider the following alternatives:

1. **Vanilla JavaScript**: As shown in this test case, you can use native browser methods like `document.getElementById()` and properties like `innerText` for basic DOM manipulation.
2. **Other libraries**: Other popular libraries like Mootools, YUI, or Pure may also offer similar functionality to jQuery.
3. **Modern Web APIs**: With the rise of modern web APIs (e.g., querySelector, MutationObserver), you can perform more complex DOM updates without relying on external libraries.

**Considerations**

When choosing between these approaches, consider factors like:

1. **Performance**: Vanilla JavaScript or library-based methods might have different performance characteristics.
2. **Complexity**: How much complexity do you need to handle in your application?
3. **Maintainability**: Will using an external library simplify maintenance and updates for your codebase?

Hope this explanation helps!
