For the longest time I've used jQuery to hack together web sites. Now I'm interested in making a web application (one page load for the entire site to function, like Gmail).
Are there any jQuery Frameworks or practices that I can leverage to build my application so I don't have to recreate the wheel, or hack something together as I go?
Thanks

jQuery is a JavaScript framework. It facilitates the readability and the manipulation of HTML DOM elements, event handling, animations, and AJAX calls. It's also free, open-source software that adheres to the MIT License. As a result, it is one of the most popular JavaScript libraries.
jQuery is a lightweight, "write less, do more", JavaScript library. The purpose of jQuery is to make it much easier to use JavaScript on your website. jQuery takes a lot of common tasks that require many lines of JavaScript code to accomplish, and wraps them into methods that you can call with a single line of code.
But the current projects of web developers don't tell the whole story. Based on BuiltWith's Internet technology trends, jQuery was found on more than 80 million websites in 2022. That's a huge lead over the nearly 11 million websites running React.
Compatible with all major desktop browsers as well as all major mobile platforms, including Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Blackberry, WebOS, Symbian.
One of the (not so) many options is JavascriptMVC, which is pretty cool and I've used it for one midium-size project.
It's website is pretty discouraging, but give it a chance and watch the video. One possitive aspect is that it's creator always answers really fast in JMVC's google group.
But, actually, if I had to remake the project I mentioned, I would not use it, as jQuery provides (almost) all JMVC's functionality, you just have to get used to it. For an example in how to handle big apps with jQuery, I would recommend you to watch this video between others of Alex Sexton and other members of the yayQuery podcast.
