jQuery uses Sizzle, which uses native selectors whenever it can. You can see in that graph the green bar (jQuery 1.2.7 experimental) is only a sliver slower than native selectors, when available.
Even without native selectors, Sizzle is very fast and I doubt it'll be a bottleneck for you. If I were you, I'd stick to jQuery or use Sizzle directly if jQuery is inappropriate for some other reason. 2009/7/9 Bryan Berry <[email protected]>: > for our code, i would prefer to use jquery selectors, it will make our > code a lot more portable > > Also, for the purpose of getting translation strings, speed not so > important. > > > On Thu, 2009-07-09 at 01:53 -0500, Felipe López Toledo wrote: >> Hi Byan. >> >> Since I'm printing everything that seems useful...., I found this: >> http://hacks.mozilla.org/2009/06/dom-selectors-api/ >> >> summary: native css selectors are faster than other css selectors >> >> maybe it's not important.. but (for a moment) I was thinking jQuery >> css selector vs native css selectors: what do we must use? >> >> felipe > -- > Bryan W.
