How to call an asmx webservice with client-side-only code?

So, google and stack are garbled with many different approaches to this problem, which I thought would be easily researchable.

I want to know the best/cleanest way to call a .net .asmx based webservice, from pure javascript client side code. i.e. No tags. Nearly every reference to this question provides asp.net server-side code examples, which I don't want.

I guess I could use jquery on the client side. I think (but am unsure) that Microsoft has a client-side javascript library that can be used to make an ajax call to a webservice as well.

I'm happy to modify my server-side asmx webservice to be JSON compatible (i.e. the client-side code here doesn't have to handle soap).

Must I adopt jquery? Or is there another way of doing this?

For those who have the same question, my research has shown that the safest approach to this is to harness a client-side library. In the end I've gone with JQuery on the client side, coupled with JSON enabled asmx based webservices (subject to the links in the comments above)
