title: ASP.net MVC project: should I update jQuery version?
body: <p>When you create an <code>ASP.net MVC</code> project in Visual Studio (even the newest version, VS 2017) it includes a very old version of <code>jQuery</code>, version <code>1.10.2</code> to be precise.</p>
  
  <p>The question is: can I safely upgrade to the latest <code>3.x</code> versions? Or is there a good reason why the ASP.net MVC template includes <code>1.x</code> by default?</p>
  
  <p>NOTE: I haven't written any code yet, so there will be no problem on my part, I'm just wondering if it will break something in ASP.net/MVC and the default libs that ship with it.</p>
