> [jQuery](https://jquery.com/) is a widely used JavaScript library making it easier to manipulate HTML documents.

[Only the latest version in the current release cycle is supported](https://github.com/jquery/jquery?tab=security-ov-file#supported-versions).
The 1.x and 2.x branches no longer receive patches,
although a core team lead [stated that](https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/5322#issuecomment-1719939675)
serious security patches have been backported and that they would consider it again in the future.

jQuery is part of the [OpenJS Foundation’s Ecosystem Sustainability Program](https://openjsf.org/ecosystem-sustainability-program) (ESP).
Commercial support [is available for some EOL versions of jQuery](https://jquery.com/support/#commercial-support)
through the [HeroDevs Never-Ending Support](https://www.herodevs.com/support/jquery-nes) initiative.
