jQuery 1.12.4 and 2.2.4 Released

Posted on by

jQuery 1.12.4 and 2.2.4 have been released! These are small releases with a couple bug fixes. We fixed a sticky issue for those using the AMD source and a “:visible” selector bug in 1.12.3.

If you need any help upgrading, check out the newest release of the jQuery Migrate plugin. Note that jQuery Migrate 1.4.1 is meant to work with these 1.x and 2.x releases, and not jQuery 3.0. jQuery 3.0 has not been released yet – though we will have an RC for you very soon – but another version of Migrate will be released for jQuery 3.0.

We do not expect this release to have any breaking changes, but if you do encounter bugs in upgrading from the previous version, please let us know.

jQuery 1.12.1 and 2.2.1 Released

Posted on by

As the jQuery team prepares for a 3.0 final release, we continue to maintain the 1.12 and 2.2 branches. These two patch releases fix a few bugs and improve stability. The most significant bug fix involved a problem with the .position() method, which affected how jQuery UI tooltips were positioned in Internet Explorer.

We do not expect this release to have any breaking changes, but if you do encounter bugs in upgrading from the previous version, please let us know.

jQuery 3.0 Beta Released

Posted on by

The time has come. On this day, the 10th anniversary of jQuery, jQuery 3.0 has reached beta status. Last week, we announced the last minor releases to the 1.x and 2.x branches. Those branches will continue to receive patches for a limited time (i.e. only major regressions or bugs); jQuery 3.0 is the future. If you need IE6-8 support, you can continue to use the latest 1.12 release.

The Death of jQuery Compat

only-one

If you read the jQuery 3.0 alpha blog post, you might remember that we announced something we called “jQuery Compat”. You can forget that. On January 12, Microsoft dropped support for IE8, IE9, and IE10. We’re not going to go that far just yet, but we are dropping support for IE8. And with IE8, so goes jQuery Compat, gone before we even released a final version. There will only be one jQuery from now on!

Despite the 3.0 version number, we anticipate that these releases shouldn’t be too much trouble when it comes to upgrading existing code. Yes, there are a few “breaking changes” that justified the major version bump, but we’re hopeful the breakage doesn’t actually affect that many people. The jQuery Migrate 3.0 plugin, when released, will help you to identify compatibility issues in your code as well. Your feedback on the changes will help us greatly, so please try it out on your existing code and plugins!

You can get the files from the jQuery CDN, or link to them directly:

https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.0.0-beta1.js

https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.0.0-beta1.min.js

You can also get the beta version from npm:

npm install jquery@3.0.0-beta1

 

Major changes

Below are just the highlights of the major new features, improvements, and bug fixes in these releases. A complete list of changes is available on our GitHub bug tracker.

.show() and .hide() methods

In jQuery 3.0 alpha, we experimented with the idea of treating these methods like an inline-display-none-remover (.show()) and inline-display-none-adder (.hide()). This had the advantage of simplifying these methods greatly and improving performance (it required much fewer calculations). However, this proved to be problematic for our users. Removing inline display:none did not always show the element (if the element was hidden from the stylesheet, for example), and that is far too common. We realized we couldn’t provide a simple way for jQuery plugins, especially, to ensure that an element was shown.

We’ve since reverted that change, and the changes that we’ve kept for the show and hide methods should have much less of an impact on your code. In fact, even with the reversion, we’ve greatly improved performance for the case of hiding many elements.

Special case with `.data()` names

We have updated our .data() implementation to closer match the HTML5 dataset specification. All keys are now converted from kebab-case to camelCase, regardless of access method, and digits no longer participate in the conversion. For example, we will no longer differentiate between “foo-bar” and “fooBar”, but will differentiate between “foo-42” and “foo42”. These changes will mainly come into play when retrieving all data by calling .data() with no arguments, or when trying to access the data using a converted key (.data(“foo42”)) instead of the original (.data(“foo-42”)).

https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/1751

jQuery.Deferred is now Promises/A+ compatible

jQuery.Deferred objects have been updated for compatibility with Promises/A+ and ES2015 Promises, verified with the Promises/A+ Compliance Test Suite. This meant we need some major changes to the .then() method:

  • An exception thrown in a .then() callback now becomes a rejection value. Previously, exceptions bubbled all the way up, aborting callback execution and irreversibly locking both the parent and child Deferred objects.
  • The resolution state of a Deferred created by .then() is now controlled by its callbacks—exceptions become rejection values and non-thenable returns become fulfillment values. Previously, returns from rejection handlers became rejection values.
  • Callbacks are always invoked asynchronously. Previously, they would be called immediately upon binding or resolution, whichever came last.
  • Progress callbacks can no longer resolve Deferred objects to which they are bound.

Consider the following, in which a parent Deferred is rejected and a child callback generates an exception:


var parent = jQuery.Deferred();
var child = parent.then( null, function() {
  return "bar";
});
var callback = function( state ) {
  return function( value ) {
    console.log( state, value );
    throw new Error( "baz" );
  };
};
var grandchildren = [
  child.then( callback( "fulfilled" ), callback( "rejected" ) ),
  child.then( callback( "fulfilled" ), callback( "rejected" ) )
];
parent.reject( "foo" );
console.log( "parent resolved" );

As of jQuery 3.0, this will log “parent resolved” before invoking any callback, each child callback will then log “fulfilled bar”, and the grandchildren will be rejected with Error “baz”. In previous versions, this would log “rejected bar” (the child Deferred having been rejected instead of fulfilled) once and then immediately terminate with uncaught Error “baz” (“parent resolved” not being logged and the grandchildren remaining unresolved).

While caught exceptions had advantages for in-browser debugging, it is far more declarative (i.e. explicit) to handle them with rejection callbacks. Keep in mind that this places the responsibility on you to always add at least one rejection callback when working with promises. Otherwise, any errors will go unnoticed.

Legacy behavior can be recovered by replacing use of .then() with the now-deprecated .pipe() method (which has an identical signature).

We’ve also built a plugin to help make debugging Promises/A+ compatible Deferreds. If you figure out that there’s some phantom error getting eaten, check out the jQuery Deferred Reporter Plugin.

jQuery.when has also been updated to accept any thenable object, which includes native Promise objects.

https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/1722
https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/2102

Added .catch() to Deferreds

The catch() method was added to promise objects as an alias for .then(null, fn).

https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/2102

Removed special-case Deferred methods in jQuery.ajax

jqXHR object is a Promise, but also has extra methods. As users increasingly embrace the Promise pattern for asynchronous work like AJAX, the idea of having special cases with duplicate method names for the Promise returned by jQuery.ajax is an increasingly bad idea. So, these deprecated names have been removed. Instead of the special-case success, error, complete use the corresponding done, fail, always methods.

Note that this does not have any impact at all on the success, error, complete callbacks of the same name, which continue to exist and are not deprecated. This only affects the Promise methods! It also does not remove or deprecate the abort method.

https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/2084

Error cases don’t silently fail

Perhaps in a profound moment you’ve wondered, “What is the offset of a window?” Then you probably realized that is a crazy question – how can a window even have an offset?

In the past, jQuery has sometimes tried to make cases like this return something rather than having them throw errors. In this particular case of asking for the offset of a window, the answer up to now has been { top: 0, left: 0 } With this beta of jQuery 3.0 we’re experimenting with the idea of having such cases throw errors so that crazy requests aren’t silently ignored. Please try the beta and see if there is any code out there depending on jQuery to mask problems with invalid inputs.

https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/1784

.width(), .height(), .css(“width”), and .css(“height”) to return decimal values (whenever the browser does)

Previously, jQuery rounded values when retrieving width and height. Some browsers return subpixel values – such as IE and Firefox – and sometimes users need this precision when relying on these values for layout. We don’t expect this change to have a big impact on your code, but let us know if it does.

https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/1724

Removed deprecated event aliases

.load, .unload, and .error, deprecated since jQuery 1.8, are no more. Use .on() to register listeners.

https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/2286

Animations now use requestAnimationFrame

On platforms that support the requestAnimationFrame API, which is pretty much everywhere but IE9 and Android<4.4, jQuery will now use that API when performing animations. This should result in animations that are smoother and use less CPU time – and save battery as well on mobile devices.

jQuery tried using requestAnimationFrame a few years back but there were serious compatibility issues with existing code so we had to back it out. We think we’ve beaten most of those issues by suspending animations while a browser tab is out of view. Still, any code that depends on animations to always run in nearly real-time is making an unrealistic assumption.

.unwrap( selector )

Before jQuery 3.0, the .unwrap() method did not take any arguments. The selector parameter offers a way to be specific about which wrappers to remove.

https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/1744

jQuery.fn.domManip no longer accessible

jQuery.dir, jQuery.sibling, jQuery.buildFragment, jQuery.access, and jQuery.swap were all privatized in jQuery 1.12 and 2.2. These methods, along with jQuery.fn.domManip, were always intended for internal use only and were never documented. We are finally making them private to avoid confusion.

https://github.com/jquery/jquery/pull/2182
https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/2224
https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/2225

Massive speedups for some jQuery custom selectors

Thanks to some detective work by Paul Irish at Google, we identified some cases where we could skip a bunch of extra work when custom selectors like :visible are used many times in the same document. That particular case is up to 17 times faster now!

Keep in mind that even with this improvement, selectors like :visible and :hidden can be expensive because they depend on the browser to determine whether elements are actually displaying on the page. That may require, in the worst case, a complete recalculation of CSS styles and page layout! While we don’t discourage their use in most cases, we recommend testing your pages to determine if these selectors are causing performance issues.

This change actually made it into 1.12/2.2, but we wanted to reiterate it for jQuery 3.0.

jQuery 2.2 and 1.12 Released

Posted on by

To usher in the new year, the jQuery team has been hard at work on 2 new releases: jQuery 1.12.0 and 2.2.0! These releases include lots of bug fixes and improvements to make your cross-browser development experience better. We anticipate this to be the last releases for the 1.x and 2.x branches before we release jQuery 3.0. Since jQuery 3.0 will have some breaking changes, we will continue to support 1.12 and 2.2 after jQuery 3.0 is released, but only with patches for major regressions. As a side-note, we will have some big news related to jQuery 3.0 coming soon!

Performance Improvements

Performance of the selector engine has improved thanks to a shortcut path that immediately uses precompiled Sizzle selectors when the selector cannot be processed by the native querySelectorAll or matchesSelector methods. This results in a significant speedup in some real-world cases.

New Features

We’ve added some minor, non-breaking features that we thought might be useful in these releases. Here are some of the highlights.

SVG Class Manipulation

While jQuery is a HTML library, we agreed that class support for SVG elements could be useful. Users will now be able to call the .addClass(), .removeClass(), .toggleClass(), and .hasClass() methods on SVG. jQuery now changes the class attribute rather than the className property. This also makes the class methods usable in general XML documents. Keep in mind that many other things will not work with SVG, and we still recommend using a library dedicated to SVG if you need anything beyond class manipulation.

jQuery.post(options) and jQuery.get(options)

These ajax shortcuts have a new signature that takes a single object containing options.

jQuery.post({
  url: “/example”
});

Symbol/iterator support

We’ve added support for the Symbol type and iterators via Symbol.iterator added in ES6/ES2015. “Symbol” will be detectable with jQuery.type, and jQuery objects can be iterated with for-of where supported.

for (element of $elements) {
  console.log(element);
}

jQuery.htmlPrefilter()

A new hook has been added for filtering HTML that is passed to jQuery DOM manipulation methods like .html(), .append(), and .replaceWith(). The default prefilter translates single tags to XHTML-compatible tags. This method will allow users to bypass certain edge cases, remove scripts, and sanitize input.

jQuery.uniqueSort alias

To make it clear that jQuery.unique() also sorts, we’ve update the name. jQuery.unique will still exist, but jQuery.uniqueSort will become the documented method. This method is still only intended to sort DOM elements in document order; it is not a general sorting method.

jQuery 3.0 and jQuery Compat 3.0 Alpha Versions Released

Posted on by

It’s been a long time since we did a major release, and you certainly deserve one. So we’re glad to announce the first alpha of jQuery 3.0!

Despite the 3.0 version number, we anticipate that these releases shouldn’t be too much trouble when it comes to upgrading existing code. Yes, there are a few breaking changes that justified the major version bump, but we’re hopeful these breakages don’t actually affect that many people. The jQuery Migrate plugin can help you to identify compatibility issues in your code as well. Your feedback on the changes in this alpha will help us greatly, so please try it out on your existing code and plugins!

There are actually two releases here. First is jQuery 3.0, which supports modern browsers and environments from IE9 forward. Second is jQuery Compat 3.0, which includes support for IE8. As an added bonus, both jQuery and jQuery Compat will include support for Yandex.Browser, a freeware browser released in 2012. You can get the files from the jQuery CDN, or link to them directly:

https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.0.0-alpha1.js

https://code.jquery.com/jquery-compat-3.0.0-alpha1.js

You can also get the alpha versions from npm:

npm install jquery@3.0.0-alpha1

npm install jquery-compat@3.0.0-alpha1

 

Major changes

Below are just the highlights of the major new features, improvements, and bug fixes in these releases. A complete list of changes is available at the bottom of this post and on our GitHub issue tracker. On GitHub, you can additionally see the features we expect to put in later beta and final versions that have yet to land.

Simplified .show() and .hide() methods

Everyone’s mental model of jQuery’s .hide() method is that it sets display: none in CSS. Conversely, .show() clears the display so that the element shows again (assuming its parents are not hidden). Simple, right?

Well, no. There are actually many complex special cases that people asked us to “fix” over the years, which turned these methods into a convoluted confluence of principles. For example, what if the element is set to display: none in a stylesheet? jQuery would try to override that by forcing display: block on the element directly. Okay, but what if a normally block element like <li> was set to display: inline by a different stylesheet rule? How about the case where you call these methods on an element before it’s been added to the document and we don’t know what display value it will have? Determining all of that takes extra work. Sometimes it’s still just a guess that turns out to be wrong.

Since these methods add a style attribute to the element, they don’t tend to play well with techniques like responsive design where the visibility of elements may also be set by media queries. This leads to the need for jQuery handlers that listen for the orientationchange or resize events and manually hide or show parts of the page; it defeats the elegant solution that media queries were trying to implement.

You can see that jQuery was already about halfway down the path to total madness, and it didn’t make sense to complete the journey. The special cases and checks were not only complex and incomplete, but they caused significant performance issues on large pages.

So, instead, we’re experimentally defying the evolution of these methods and reverting to a simple, primordial model. This will break some code. If you have elements in a stylesheet that are set to display: none, the .show() method will no longer override that. So the most important rule for moving to jQuery 3.0 is this: Don’t use a stylesheet to set the default of display: none and then try to use .show() – or any method that shows elements, such as .slideDown() and .fadeIn() – to make it visible.

If you need an element to be hidden by default, the best way is to add a class name like “hidden” to the element and define that class to be display: none in a stylesheet. Then you can add or remove that class using jQuery’s .addClass() and .removeClass() methods to control visibility. Alternately, you can have a .ready() handler call .hide() on the elements before they are displayed on the page. Or, if you really must retain the stylesheet default, you can use .css("display", "block") (or the appropriate display value) to override the stylesheet.

We know that this is likely to be one of the most contentious and difficult changes in jQuery 3.0, so we wanted to put it out in this early release to see the effects. Please let us know how it affects your code and what you need to change in order to work with this new model.

Special case with .data() names

We have updated our .data() implementation to closer match the HTML5 dataset specification. All keys are now converted from kebab-case to camelCase, regardless of access method, and digits no longer participate in the conversion. For example, we will no longer differentiate between “foo-bar” and “fooBar”, but will differentiate between “foo-42” and “foo42”. These changes will mainly come into play when retrieving all data by calling .data() with no arguments, or when trying to access the data using a converted key (.data(“foo42”)) instead of the original (.data(“foo-42”)).

https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/1751

jQuery.Deferred is now Promises/A+ compatible

jQuery.Deferred objects have been updated for compatibility with Promises/A+ and ES2015 Promises, verified with the Promises/A+ Compliance Test Suite. This meant the introduction of a .catch() method and some major changes to the .then() method:

  • An exception thrown in a .then() callback now becomes a rejection value. Previously, exceptions bubbled all the way up, aborting callback execution and irreversibly locking both the parent and child Deferred objects.
  • The resolution state of a Deferred created by .then() is now controlled by its callbacks—exceptions become rejection values and non-thenable returns become fulfillment values. Previously, returns from rejection handlers became rejection values.
  • Callbacks are always invoked asynchronously. Previously, they would be called immediately upon binding or resolution, whichever came last.
  • Progress callbacks can no longer resolve Deferred objects to which they are bound.

Consider the following, in which a parent Deferred is rejected and a child callback generates an exception:

var parent = jQuery.Deferred();
var child = parent.then( null, function() {
  return "bar";
});
var callback = function( state ) {
  return function( value ) {
    console.log( state, value );
    throw new Error( "baz" );
  };
};
var grandchildren = [
  child.then( callback( "fulfilled" ), callback( "rejected" ) ),
  child.then( callback( "fulfilled" ), callback( "rejected" ) )
];
parent.reject( "foo" );
console.log( "parent resolved" );

As of jQuery 3.0, this will log “parent resolved” before invoking any callback, each child callback will then log “fulfilled bar”, and the grandchildren will be rejected with Error “baz”. In previous versions, this would log “rejected bar” (the child Deferred having been rejected instead of fulfilled) once and then immediately terminate with uncaught Error “baz” (“parent resolved” not being logged and the grandchildren remaining unresolved).

While caught exceptions had advantages for in-browser debugging, it is far more declarative (i.e. explicit) to handle them with rejection callbacks. Keep in mind that this places the responsibility on you to always add at least one rejection callback when working with promises. Otherwise, any errors will go unnoticed.

Legacy behavior can be recovered by replacing use of .then() with the now-deprecated .pipe() method (which has an identical signature).

jQuery.when has also been updated to accept any thenable object, which includes native Promise objects.

https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/2102

Removed special-case Deferred methods in jQuery.ajax

jqXHR object is a Promise, but also has extra methods like .abort() so that you can stop a request after it has been made.

As users increasingly embrace the Promise pattern for asynchronous work like AJAX, the idea of having special cases for the Promise returned by jQuery.ajax is an increasingly bad idea.

success, error, complete
done, fail, always

Note that this does not have any impact at all on the callbacks of the same name, which continue to exist and are not deprecated. This only affects the Promise methods!

https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/2084

Error cases don’t silently fail

Perhaps in a profound moment you’ve wondered, “What is the offset of a window?” Then you probably realized that is a crazy question – how can a window even have an offset?

In the past, jQuery has sometimes tried to make cases like this return something rather than having them throw errors. In this particular case of asking for the offset of a window, the answer up to now has been { top: 0, left: 0 } With this alpha of jQuery 3.0 we’re experimenting with the idea of having such cases throw errors so that crazy requests aren’t silently ignored. Please try the alpha and see if there is any code out there depending on jQuery to mask problems with invalid inputs.

https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/1784

.width(), .height(), .css(“width”), and .css(“height”) to return decimal values (whenever the browser does)

Previously, jQuery rounded values when retrieving width and height. Some browsers return subpixel values – such as IE and Firefox – and sometimes users need this precision when relying on these values for layout. We don’t expect this change to have a big impact on your code, but let us know if it does.

https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/1724

Removed deprecated event aliases

.load, .unload, and .error, deprecated since jQuery 1.8, are no more. Use .on() to register listeners.

https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/2286

jQuery.swap, jQuery.buildFragment, and jQuery.domManip are no longer accessible on the jQuery object

These methods were always intended for internal use only and were never documented. We are finally making them private to avoid confusion.

https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/2224
https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/2225

Animations now use requestAnimationFrame

On platforms that support the requestAnimationFrame API, which is pretty much everywhere but IE8 and IE9, jQuery will now use that API when performing animations. This should result in animations that are smoother and use less CPU time – and save battery as well on mobile devices.

jQuery tried using requestAnimationFrame a few years back but there were serious compatibility issues with existing code so we had to back it out. We think we’ve beaten most of those issues by suspending animations while a browser tab is out of view. Still, any code that depends on animations to always run in nearly real-time is making an unrealistic assumption.

.unwrap( selector )

Before jQuery 3.0, the .unwrap() method did not take any arguments. The selector parameter offers a way to be specific about which wrappers to remove.

https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/1744

Massive speedups for some jQuery custom selectors

Thanks to some detective work by Paul Irish at Google, we identified some cases where we could skip a bunch of extra work when custom selectors like :visible are used many times in the same document. That particular case is up to 17 times faster now!

Keep in mind that even with this improvement, selectors like :visible and :hidden can be expensive because they depend on the browser to determine whether elements are actually displaying on the page. That may require, in the worst case, a complete recalculation of CSS styles and page layout! While we don’t discourage their use in most cases, we recommend testing your pages to determine if these selectors are causing performance issues.

jQuery 1.11.3 and 2.1.4 Released – iOS Fail-Safe Edition

Posted on by

Here we are again. It’s too late for April Fools, so you can believe us when we tell you that we have two new patch releases for you: jQuery 1.11.3 and 2.1.4.

These releases include a hot-fix for a rare bug in iOS 8.2 and 8.3. This is the only change. As with 1.11.2 and 2.1.3, we do not anticipate any issues when upgrading. However, if you do encounter bugs in upgrading from the previous versions, please let us know.

You can include these files directly from the jQuery CDN if you like, or copy them to your own local server. The 1.x branch includes support for IE 6/7/8 and the 2.x branch does not.

https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.js

https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.4.js

These updates are already available as the current versions on npm and Bower. Information on all the ways to get jQuery is available at https://jquery.com/download/. Please keep in mind that public, third-party CDNs receive their copies today and it can take a few days to post the files. If you’re anxious to get started, our CDN is always available.

Many thanks to all of you who participated in this release by testing, reporting bugs, or submitting patches, including John-David Dalton, Michał Gołębiowski, Oleg Gaidarenko, Richard Gibson, Dave Methvin, Benjamin Poulain, and Oz Solomon.

Thanks for all your support, and we look forward to showing you all we have in store for jQuery 3.0!

 

The New Sizzle

Posted on by

In order to make your 4th of July more sizzlin’ (you’re welcome), the jQuery team is happy to announce that Sizzle, jQuery’s CSS selector engine, is better, faster, and more reliable than ever! Sizzle has received a substantial rewrite to be included with the release of jQuery 1.8.

First, credit should be given to Diego Perini for pointing me in the right direction as well as Samuel Lebeau for creating a project 3 years ago called Bouncer, a “fast bottom-up element matcher for Javascript”.

jQuery, along with Sizzle, was released in 2006, about 3 years after Simon Willison came out with getElementsBySelector, which pretty much set the stage for every selector engine we have today. As time went on, Sizzle was rewritten a few times for the sake of performance and more and more bugs were covered as the number of people using it increased.

During this time, other quite impressive selector engines were introduced, including but not limited to NWMatcher (by Diego), dojo.query, Slick, base2, qwery, and YUI. Though they all have their own strengths, NWMatcher and Dojo particularly stood out as exemplary engines. While neither is the fastest at every selection, they are both consistently fast for almost every selector. My goal was to achieve this same level of performance for Sizzle, retain all of the edge-case bug fixes that John and the bugs team have collected over the years, and cover even more bugs that were in the queue or were covered by other engines. I can now safely say this goal has been reached.

While I won’t say Sizzle is completely bug free or it is always the fastest in every situation, the reliability and performance gains are very competitive. http://jsfiddle.net/timmywil/s7rN4/ is a primitive test used to quickly observe the differences between some selector engines for several selectors (should be run in a browser with a console open).

What changed

Below is a reduced list of the main code differences between Sizzle in jQuery 1.7.2 and jQuery 1.8.

One compiled selector function

The selector parser compiles a selector into one function containing functions for each part of the selector. This means that for any given selector (excluding positional (POS) selectors such as :first or :eq(3)), the possible set of elements need only be checked once. This is predominantly where the major speed boost and heightened stability comes from.

Additionally, Sizzle maintains a cache of the most recently compiled functions. The cache has a maximum size (which can be adjusted but has a default) so you don’t get out-of-memory errors when using a lot of different selectors.

Note: this does not have an effect on simple selectors (ID-only, TAG-only, CLASS-only) because Sizzle has had shortcuts for these that defer to getElementByID, getElementsByTagName, and getElementsByClassName whenever possible. That wasn’t changed (except for the addition of a shortcut for element-rooted ID selectors), and those are still the fastest selectors. Any other selector will go through querySelectorAll if available or run through the compiler.

querySelectorAll and matchesSelector

With this latest rewrite, the code paths to querySelectorAll and matchesSelector are even better than before and yield excellent performance.

Some people ask why we need Sizzle at all, since modern browsers have querySelectorAll and matchesSelector and accept a wide range of CSS3 selectors. The problem is that every browser (not just IE) has a few bugs in these methods. Selector engines must know beforehand what these bugs are and bypass these methods before they return incorrect results (though not all of them do). Sizzle now has this covered.

In addition, querySelectorAll and matchesSelector do not know how to process jQuery selector extensions such as [attr!=value]. Any time you use a selector extension, Sizzle needs to handle the selection natively.

Improved selector validation

Validating selectors is a tricky business. To be too strict can be annoying, but to be too flexible can produce unexpected results. In the past, Sizzle has been both of these at different times for several use cases. The most recent changes are geared towards adhering to the W3C selectors specification as much as possible, but also allowing some things that the spec does not (such as having complex selectors within a :not() pseudo).

Specifically, we are matching all whitespace characters where necessary, including line feed, tab, carriage return, and form feed(http://www.w3.org/TR/selectors/#whitespace), validating identifiers and operators in attributes selectors (http://www.w3.org/TR/selectors/#attribute-selectors), and providing a character encoding that matches the spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-syntax/#characters).

Combinators (space, ~, >, +)

Combinators can get very complicated, but the new strategy handles these with great poise. In the release of jQuery 1.8 beta (and at the jQuery conference this year), I claimed that Sizzle had improved support for combinators. While the accuracy was improved, I spoke too soon and, fortunately, this was pointed out by someone I only know as Yaffle on github. Apparently, for very large and deep documents, the original revisions were checking so many elements that it was causing a stack overflow for selectors that had several combinators. For each combinator, the number of elements checked went up exponentially in order to maintain possible matches. This was bad. Sizzle now takes care of that issue and gets very satisfying results.

Extensibility

Although most of the old API for Sizzle was not changed in this rewrite (except for the removal of the now unnecessary Sizzle.filter from the private API), there are a couple changes that make Sizzle even more extensible. The most common way to extend Sizzle is to add custom pseudo selectors. Now with the parser compiling a function of functions, you can receive more information when creating your custom selector. For example, within Sizzle, the implementation for the :not pseudo selector is very similar to

// Using the createPseudo function tells the compiler
//   to pass the pseudo argument, context, and whether the current context is xml
//   to the function passed to createPseudo and trusts
//   that a function to be used for filtering will be returned.
// Note: the use of createPseudo is only necessary for creating custom
//   pseudo selectors with arguments.
Sizzle.selectors.pseudos.not =
    Sizzle.selectors.createPseudo(function( selector, context, isXml ) {
        var matcher = Sizzle.compile( selector, context, isXml );
	return function( elem ) {
		return !matcher( elem );
	};
    });

This is the only breaking change in the public API given the new parser, but I think creating custom pseudos with arguments is now much cleaner. For more information, please refer to the Sizzle docs.

Perhaps some of you are thinking that it could be nice to pre-compile your own selectors. Well, you can. Sizzle.compile is exposed so you can cache your selectors before they get used. While compiling is still very fast without caching, you can make sure that step is skipped before the selection is ever run. Call compile with your selector and context

Sizzle.compile(“my>long>complicated:selector(poof)”, document);

and it’s added to the cache. You can even increase/decrease the size of the cache by setting Sizzle.selectors.cacheLength.

Note: The majority of users do not need to use the compiler as Sizzle will maintain a cache of recently compiled selectors. Overriding Sizzle.compile will have no effect on Sizzle as it maintains an internal reference to this method.

Get the code!

The code is now available in the git versions of jQuery and Sizzle. Expect jQuery 1.8 to be released sometime this month. Issues specifically for Sizzle can be filed on GitHub and, as always, any issues related to jQuery as a whole can be filed on our bug tracker. Try it out for yourself and let us know if you run into any problems. Enjoy and Happy Independence Day!
