Is the “jQuery programming style” a kind of Reactive programming?
- by Peter Krauss
jQuery is a Javascript library and framework, but when we are programming
with jQuery into DOM problems/solutions,
we can practice a style quite different of programming... We can read about jQuery at Wikipedia,
The set of jQuery core features — DOM element selections, traversal and manipulation —, enabled by its selector engine (...), created a new "programming style", fusing algorithms and DOM-data-structures
This question is similar to the "subquestion-3" of this question
but not so generic. The focus here is about this new kind of "programming style"... So, the question:
Is the "jQuery programming style in DOM context" a new paradign? Or it is more one example of reactive programming (not "cell-oriented" but "DOM-node oriented") or another one?
We have no "standard taxonomy of paradigms", so, please, in your answer, indicate also your "best choice for Wikipedia Paradign".
Example: if you understand that "jQuery programming DOM" is like "awk filtering data", your choice can be event-driven.
