Is there a better alternative to jQuery JavaScript library?

Is there a JavaScript library that does what jQuery can do in an easier way. I am looking for a library to learn instead of jQuery.

Vanilla Javascript is the best. I personally avoid using jQuery or any other library for easier syntax.

I don't know if there is any other library out there, Google can tell you about that. I let you do that part. But before you do that, I guess jQuery is the best way for dealing with DOM and stuff in shorter way. Like I don't think you even need something easier than jQuery.

I’d skip jQuery to be honest. In todays landscape Native JavaScript is as easy as jQuery and without the overhead. You also have excellent documentation of nearly every JavaScript function at Mozilla Developer Network (www.mdn.com). If you intend to adopt a framework it’s far easier to do complex DOM manipulation. It’s one of the many problems solved by popular frameworks such as Angular, React, Vue or Svelte to name a few.

Nowadays you do not need to learn jQuery, JavaScript with es6 can handle it much better.
