This doesn't make any sense. jQuery is a library for DOM manipulation. React is a view layer framework. They are totally different solutions for different problems. If jQuery suits your needs, you probably don't need jQuery at all because vanilla JS is quite capable these days.

They are both used to add client-side interactivity. I agree vanilla JS is often a capable alternative. jQuery offers a lot of convenience though.
