XmlHttpRequest vs jQuery

I am new to both javascript and jQuery. I am developing a page in which I have generated page's whole html from code. In the page, there in a textbox to post messages and for each message comments can be posted. Now when I post a new comment or delete a comment I need to do database call. I know 2 method to do it from js

  1. do xmlhttprequest
  2. do ajax call from jQuery.

Can anybody suggest me which method will suite my requirement?

At least today jQuery isn't a clean or even a fast solution, from this test the results for me in mobile or desktop shows that jQuery are, at least, 80% slower than XHR2: https://jsperf.com/xhr-vs-jquery-ajax-vs-get-vs-fetch

xmlhttprequest is not working through cross-browser, for example some IE versions, so best option is jQuery's ajax call.

jQuery itself will be using XMLHTTPRequest object. What it provides will be a wrapper for the functions. So if you want to avoid the burden of writing javascript that targets various browsers then you can opt for jQuery.

Each browser has their own implementation of XmlHttpRequest. Using a framework will minimize the headache of cross-browser differences and quirks, especially if you are very new.
