Hi Medes71,For Windows Store javascript/HTML app development, you can use the built-in "Windows Library for javascript" to handle most basic cases. and Visual Studio 2012 provides some Windows Store javascript project template which has included many pre-generated code which demonstrate the general workflow and coding style of windows store javascript/html app.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/hh758331.aspxthe following free ebook is strongly recommended for developers using html+js to build windows store apps:

But since the windows store app programming model has some difference from traditional web page based web applications, you need to fully test the 3rd party js library when using them in your windows store app. The following MSDN references introduces something about the difference between Windows Store html/js app and normal web browser and web page based web app:

Hi ,
you can use jquery in windows store apps with javascript , but sometimes maybe modify the jquery source code , because some javascript code not support in windows store apps with javascript
Actually,in most case the "Windows Library for javascript" can help you completed , that you want :)
and you can find some sample code in Windows Store app samples
