Benchmark: Vanilla JS VS JQuery 3.4.1 AJAX perfomance

HTML Preparation code:

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Tests:

Vanilla JS
var r = new XMLHttpRequest(); r.open("POST", "http://vanilla-js.com/path/to/api", true); r.onreadystatechange = function () { if (r.readyState != 4 || r.status != 200) return; alert("Success: " + r.responseText); }; r.send("banana=yellow");
Jquery
$.ajax({ type: 'POST', url: "http://vanilla-js.com/path/to/api", data: "banana=yellow", success: function (data) { alert("Success: " + data); }, });

Let's break down the provided benchmark and explain what's being tested.

**Benchmark Overview**

The benchmark compares the performance of two JavaScript approaches: Vanilla JS (native JavaScript) and jQuery 3.4.1 with AJAX functionality. The goal is to measure which approach performs better in terms of execution speed when making a POST request to an API endpoint.

**Options Compared**

Two options are being compared:

1. **Vanilla JS**: Uses native JavaScript features to make the HTTP request using the XMLHttpRequest object.
2. **jQuery 3.4.1 with AJAX**: Utilizes jQuery's AJAX functionality to make the HTTP request, which abstracts away some of the complexities of native JavaScript.

**Pros and Cons**

**Vanilla JS:**

Pros:

* More control over the underlying HTTP request implementation
* Can be more lightweight and efficient
* No dependency on a third-party library

Cons:

* Requires a basic understanding of HTTP requests and XMLHTTPRequest objects
* May require additional setup and configuration for some use cases

**jQuery 3.4.1 with AJAX:**

Pros:

* Provides a high-level abstraction over HTTP requests, making it easier to write cross-platform code
* Offers built-in support for common features like caching and error handling
* Can be more convenient for developers who are already familiar with jQuery

Cons:

* Adds an additional dependency on the jQuery library
* May introduce some overhead due to the abstraction layer
* Can be less efficient than native JavaScript implementations in some cases

**Library:**

The `$.ajax` function is a part of the jQuery library, which provides a convenient way to make HTTP requests with AJAX. The purpose of this library is to simplify the process of making cross-domain requests and provide features like caching, error handling, and data manipulation.

**Special JS Feature/Syntax:**

There are no special JavaScript features or syntaxes being used in these benchmark cases. They rely solely on standard JavaScript features and libraries (jQuery).

**Other Alternatives:**

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

1. **Fetch API**: A modern JavaScript API for making HTTP requests that provides a more efficient and flexible way of handling requests compared to the XMLHttpRequest object.
2. **Axios**: A popular third-party library that provides a simple and intuitive way of making HTTP requests in JavaScript.
3. **PWA's Fetch API + Service Worker**: Using the Fetch API inside a Service Worker can provide an additional layer of performance optimizations.

Overall, this benchmark is designed to compare the relative performance of native JavaScript versus jQuery's AJAX functionality, highlighting the trade-offs between these two approaches and providing insights for developers who need to make decisions about which approach to use in their own projects.
