I can't find it in the docs, do I need to include jQuery for Bootstrap 5?

jQuery included in Bootstrap 5?

If jQuery is included in Bootstrap 5, which one is slim? AJAX will work or do I need to connect separately jQuery for AJAX?

Thanks to improvements in front-end development tools and browser support, we can now drop jQuery as a dependency, but you'll never notice otherwise. This transition has been a huge undertaking for @Johann-S, our main JavaScript developer these days. This marks one of the biggest changes to the framework in recent years and means that projects built with Bootstrap 5 will be significantly lighter in file size and page load.
