Before it become the center of Web development, jQuery started out as a simple JavaScript library for manipulating DOM elements.

By doing this and a few other tasks, jQuery become very popular and its codebase started to grow with the addition of more and more extra features and modules.

Unfortunately all this new code has inflated jQuery to over 200 Kb, an ABSURD file size for a JavaScript library.

jQuery Evergreen was written to support those basic features jQuery was once famous for, using a similar jQuery API.

Basically if you still use jQuery in the same way you used in 5-6 years ago, you can easily replace it with jQuery Evergreen and load 5-10 Kb instead of a whopping 200+ Kb.

jQuery Evergreen works with both client-side (browsers) and server-side (Node.js) environments.
