Cheat Sheet for the modern DOM API

See the attached link for a useful overview of modern (and classic) DOM API methods, like matches, contains, append, cssText, etc.

When coming from jQuery, also see the card on JavaScript without jQuery. This card includes a link to You Don't Need jQuery Show archive.org snapshot , which summarizes most of the alternatives in native Javascript implementation to jQuery methods.
