Is jquery .bind() deprecated?

Question

Is jquery bind() deprecated or it can be used safely?

I see a lot of comments about bind() being deprecated in comments and answers across SO like: Jque

Answer 1

I don't believe its deprecated but on is the preferred method of attaching events.

http://api.jquery.com/bind/

Deprecated means they will be removing it in the future but their docs don't seem to say that.

EDIT:

As of jQuery 3.0 bind IS deprecated. The above link is still relevant but has since been updated. From their docs:

As of jQuery 3.0, .bind() has been deprecated. It was superseded by the .on() method for attaching event handlers to a document since jQuery 1.7, so its use was already discouraged.
