  2. JQuery helps developers by providing usable functions that can be called to perform various tasks such as animation, Ajax Requests, DOM manipulation, and image effects.
  3. The minified version is much smaller that the uncompressed version. All of the comments and extra spaces have been removed from the minified version. This makes the JQuery Library faster to download for those visiting your site.

  3. The jQuery library actually comes in 2 forms:

  • The uncompressed .js file is easy to read and modify, but it’s around 160kb in size (at the time of writing).
  • The minified .js file has all comments, whitespace, and other unnecessary characters removed from the file, squeezing the whole library into a mere 23kb. Although you can’t easily read the code, this is the version you’ll want to place on your site, as it’s much quicker for visitors to download.

  1. What is jQuery? A large selection of different code blocks or lines, available to developers, in the form of a searchable library.

  2. How does it help us as developers? , It assist’s developers by saving time from re-inventing the wheel, and locating proven code for the required task.

  3. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed? Uncompressed has all comments and white space included (especially useful for new developers), and the minified is exactly the same except it has all the above removed. This makes it about 1/6th of the size. Great for keeping your final website ‘lighter’!
