I'm wondering why I can use $('.myelement') in Google Chrome console? I thought that was only a jQuery thing.
Is this part of JavaScript?

No, probably Chrome added to its console, but it isn't pure JS. – dloeda Jul 05 '17 at 13:33

The $ function is provided by the Chrome Dev Tools API although it will be overwritten if the page provides a global $ variable (e.g. by loading jQuery).
It is not part of JavaScript (nor are any DOM manipulation functions).
