Benchmark: Native vs EarthJS vs jQuery

HTML Preparation code:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
function v(type, selector, content) {
        const item = document.querySelectorAll(selector);

        if (type === "html") {
            for (let i = 0; i < item.length; i++) {
                item[i].innerHTML = content;
            }
        } else if(type === "addClass") {
            for (let i = 0; i < item.length; i++) {
                item[i].classList.add(content);
            }
        } else if (type === "removeClass") {
            for (let i = 0; i < item.length; i++) {
                item[i].classList.remove(content);
            }
        } else if (type === "toggleClass") {
            for (let i = 0; i < item.length; i++) {
                item[i].classList.toggle(content);
            }
        }
    }
</script>

<div class="new-page-container"><p>Hello World</p></div>

Script Preparation code:

document.querySelector(".new-page-container p").classList.remove("test");

Tests:

jQuery
$(".new-page-container p").addClass("test");
EarthJS
v("addClass", ".new-page-container p", "test");
Native
document.querySelector(".new-page-container p").classList.add("test");

Let's dive into the provided benchmark.

**Benchmark Definition**

The benchmark is designed to compare three JavaScript libraries: Native, EarthJS, and jQuery. The test case is simple: it adds a class ("test") to an HTML element (`.new-page-container p`) using each library.

**Options Compared**

The three options being compared are:

1. **Native**: Using the built-in `classList` API in JavaScript, which is available in most modern browsers.
2. **EarthJS**: A custom JavaScript library that provides a similar interface to `classList`.
3. **jQuery**: A popular JavaScript library that provides a wide range of utility functions, including manipulating classes.

**Pros and Cons**

Here's a brief summary of the pros and cons of each option:

1. **Native**: Pros:
	* Fastest execution time, as it leverages native browser functionality.
	* Lightweight and efficient.
	* No additional dependencies or overhead.
Cons:
	* May not work in older browsers that don't support `classList`.
2. **EarthJS**: Pros:
	* Custom implementation provides a seamless interface to `classList` in older browsers.
	* May offer better performance in certain scenarios (e.g., when using a custom class list).
Cons:
	* Additional dependency and overhead compared to Native.
3. **jQuery**: Pros:
	* Wide range of utility functions, including manipulating classes.
	* Works across most browsers, even older ones.
Cons:
	* Heavier execution time due to the additional library overhead.

**Library Descriptions**

1. **EarthJS**: EarthJS is a lightweight JavaScript library that provides a custom implementation of `classList`. It's designed to offer a seamless interface to this API in older browsers.
2. **jQuery**: jQuery is a popular JavaScript library that provides a wide range of utility functions, including manipulating classes using `.addClass()`, `.removeClass()`, and `.toggleClass()` methods.

**Special JS Feature**

There are no special JavaScript features or syntax used in this benchmark. The test cases only involve standard JavaScript methods and libraries.

**Other Alternatives**

If you're interested in exploring alternative approaches, here are a few options:

1. **Vanilla CSS**: Instead of using `classList`, you could use vanilla CSS to add classes to elements, e.g., `.new-page-container p.test`.
2. **Lodash**: You could use Lodash's `classify` function to manipulate classes in a more concise way.
3. **Modern JavaScript APIs**: Depending on the target browsers and requirements, you might consider using newer JavaScript APIs like `DOMTokenList` or `CSS` API.

Keep in mind that each alternative has its own trade-offs and implications for performance, compatibility, and readability.
