HTML defines the structure of your content, CSS determines the style and layout, and JavaScript makes the content interactive
What Are JavaScript Libraries Used For?
As we’ve said, JavaScript libraries are used to perform specific functions. There are around 83 of them, each created to serve some purpose, and we will cover some of their usability in this section.
You can use JavaScript libraries for:
- Data Visualization in Maps and Charts
Data visualization in applications is crucial for users to view the statistics clearly in the admin panel, dashboards, performance metrics, and more.
Presenting these data in charts and maps helps you analyze that data easily and make informed business decisions.
Document Object Model (DOM) represents a web page (a document) as objects and nodes that you can modify using JavaScript. You can change its content, style, and structure.
With the enormous amounts of data that businesses now deal with daily, handling and managing them properly is essential. Using a JavaScript library makes it easier to handle a document following its content while adding more interactivity.
Effective database management is necessary to read, create, delete, edit, and sort data. You can also use sophisticated queries, auto-create tables, synchronize and validate data, and more.
Use JS libraries to simplify form functions, including form validation, synchronization, handling, conditional capabilities, field controls, transforming layouts, and more.
People love animations, and you can leverage them to make your web page interactive and more engaging. Adding micro-interactions and animations is easy by using JavaScript libraries.
Users can add effects to images and make them stand out using JS libraries. Effects include blurring, lightening, embossing, sharpening, grayscale, saturation, hue, adjusting contrast, flipping, inverting, reflection, etc.
Users can incorporate any font they wish to make their web page more compelling based on the content type.
- Math and String Functions
Adding mathematical expressions, date, time, and strings can be tricky. For example, a date consists of many formats, slashes, and dots to make things complex for you. The same holds when it comes to matrices and vectors.
Use JavaScript libraries to simplify these complexities in addition to manipulating and handling URLs effortlessly.
- User Interface and Its Components
You can provide a better user experience via web pages by making them more responsive and dynamic, decreasing the number of DOM operations, boosting page speed, and so forth.
