Providing Array-Like objects to jQuery functions documented as supporting only regular Arrays

Use case: I have elements selected with querySelectorAll() from a first node, then move them by prepending them to another node. It's important that their order from the document is preserved.

var elms = nodeA.querySelectorAll('.foo, .bar');

$(nodeB).prepend(elms);

It seems to works fine. However, by looking at the documentations of jQuery constructor, append(), prepend()… they are documented as supporting jQuery collections or regular arrays, but not array-like objects (such as the NodeList returned by querySelectorAll())…

Am I safe providing array-like objects to these jQuery functions? Is the jQuery documentation up-to-date?

  • Installed jQuery version: 3.6.0
  • Supported browsers: IE11+, Chrome, Firefox, etc. (desktop only)
