🌶️ ExpressJS is the new JQuery

ExpressJS drove standards forward, much like JQuery in the late 2000s. Let's see how modern options from meta-frameworks like NextJS and libraries like Hono are the next server wave.

"You dont need a library"
Also
"You can just use the Hono library"

Love it. First I thought that the video will take another turn, but I am happy to see this way of thinking

[rudhimediastara]

deno+hono+jsx middleware+htmx = server component

Can you make a detailed video about how node has caught up with express? Maybe I won't need to put my time in learning express anymore

[brookesstephens]

I like this take 😂. JQuery was my intro to JS way back in the day and Express was my intro to Node. Both laid some good groundwork but yeah, Aren’t really needed anymore

In 2024, the upcoming major version of jquery (which... exists) deprecates a ton of obsolete functionality and drops old browser support in favor of newer standards. So, let me fix this for you: express is the new old jquery and new jquery is the new old hono.

Didn't know about Hono, sounds cool 👀
Thanks for the bite sized content, super useful when you're on one side of the stack and don't follow closely what's going on there 😊

haven't catch up with the new standard request response api without using a libs/framework. Is there any docs to start to read?

[WillDelish]

Ooo was looking for express alternative. There’s a lot of them though it seems

[CoryTheSimmons]

What's the middleware ecosystem for Hono like?

[wafflesredditreader]

Well jquery you can use anywhere but express JS can only be used with node. Right? If I’m making a static site, there’s no need to use node. I’m looking for a new Js library for making static sites and landing pages. React seems a bit too clunky for static sites but I still need some framework to handle things like mobile menu toggles, show/hide elements on click, etc.

[vrlettuccine]

Can we delete old frameworks please? Get rid of confusion

[joshuamodiba]

Here I was thinking I have to catch up and find out what jquery is, well now I feel don't have to

[JeyPeyy]

I mean... You could get and manipulate DOM elements before jQuery, it was just a bit more painful. After all, jQuery couldn't implement those things if they weren't supported by the browsers.

[j.r.r.tolkien]

Hono! he didn't just compare a framework with a library.

[honkhonkv]

So, hmm, as someone that is currently learning express, am i wasting my time? is it already outdated like jquery is?

[lotfikamel]

Double standard 😊 also express is the most stable piece of code out there

[hugochavez]

I still use jQuery.

Vanilla JS


jQuery
$('#myElement')

If you select more elements than one you do not need for example to write a loop or single line arrow function with jQuery, in order to change simple attribute values or styles...

$('div.myclass').hide()

[Meleeman]

now do a video why react is the new jQuery

[albtein]

How about authorization and authentication?
