I have ASP.NET Core 2.2 application that is using jQuery v3.3.1.
The application is also configured to use Telerik's Kendo UI version v2016.3.1007 . The Kendo UI library is based on jQuery. All Kendo UI bundles include the corresponding minified jQuery library in the js directory. The kendo version i am using is bundled with jQuery version v1.12.3
I would like to use jQuery v3.3.1 in my application for all other DOM manipulation and Kendo UI keep using jQuery v1.12.3.
In _layout.cshtml i have
<script src="~/lib/jquery/dist/jquery.js"></script>
Questions
1> Does kendo UI use the bundled jQuery or the jQuery that is referenced in _layout.cshtml?
2>If kendo UI is using bundled jQuery then why Kendo's documentation says
In order for the Kendo UI scripts to work as expected, make sure you include a reference to the jQuery library in the document before the scripts
2>As per Kendo's jQuery prerequisite the version v2016.3.1007 also compatible with 2.2.x but not with 3.*. What are my options here to use jQuery 3.* (other than upgrading Kendo UI :))
