title: Is it worth it to use jQuery for Ajax instead of building your own JavaScript?
body: <p>Aside from the framework, is jQuery worth using rather than creating your own javascript? I've always debated if the framework was better to use than to create your own calls. Are their disadvantages of using it?</p>
  
  <p>Sorry for beginner question, I'm trying to feel out if it would be better to use this and create some of the ajaxish workings of my site rather than develop it from scratch.</p>
  
  <p>Are there other frameworks out there that would be better to use to create an ajaxish website?</p>
