Collapsible section? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/de...

There's some CSS transition stuff you can add to that to make it lightly animated: https://css-tricks.com/how-to-animate-the-details-element/

Yeah, jQuery might make some things easier, but when possible, using native HTML elements makes things even easier,

Hmm, I would agree that you can do 95%+ of stuff jQuery used to be used for in vanilla js or html/css in a nicer way but animated collapsible divs still require a stupid amount of js to achieve.

Animated collapsible div can be done with 0 line of JS.

Uhh, did you check out how that actually functions? It looks like garbage.
