DOM manipulation libraries are tools used to manipulate the Document Object Model (DOM) of a web page. They allow developers to easily access and modify elements on a web page, such as adding or removing elements, changing their attributes, or even creating new elements. Popular DOM manipulation libraries include jQuery, React, and Vue.js. To use these libraries, developers must first include the library in their HTML document using a <script> tag and then use the library's API methods to manipulate the DOM.
