- jQuery is a library that makes it quicker and easier to build JavaScript webpages and web apps. Often with jQuery you can write a single line of code to achieve what would have taken 10-20 lines of regular JavaScript code.
- jQuery allows developers to invoke a lot of common tasks that require many lines of JavaScript code to accomplish, and wraps them into methods that you can call with a single line of code. It is alco compatibile with many browsers
- The minified has removed all of the comments and indention allowing for the fastest loading speed when visiting the website. The uncompressed file is for developers that want to see the functions in a readable manner.

- It is a JavaScript library
- It is adding multitude of features that otherwise the developer would need to code himself/herself.
- One is visually easy to read and modify (in case you need to) while the other compressed version that is also smaller, is to be used (usually) as-is when building a website (quicker to download).

jQuery is a lightweight, âwrite less, do moreâ, JavaScript library.
jQuery takes common tasks that require many lines of JavaScript code to accomplish, and wraps them into methods that you can call with a single line of code.
Both have same functionality but the minified one has all unnecessary characters removed in order to make the file size smaller.

1. What is jQuery?
jQuery is a special library built with and for the JavaScript programming language. It is constituted of a large set of very useful functions that we can add to our JavaScript programs in order to add high level of programmability and dynamism to our web pages.
2. How does it help us as developers?
jQuery helps developers add highly complex functions to a web page and a great level of interactivity for the user of a page, in very short spans of time. It does not even matter the type of browser that will render our pages in the end. All browsers will display equal results when using this library. By using jQuery, developers save a huge amount of time and cash, since many functions are ready to use!
3. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
There are two versions: i. THE UNCOMPRESSED VERSION and also ii. THE MINIFIED VERSION.
i. THE UNCOMPRESSED VERSION:
Itâs very easy to read and to modify. But, itâs a lot heavier. Thus, it takes longer to load.
ii. THE MINIFIED VERSION:
Itâs very light and loads very quicky. However, itâs very hard to read since it has no comments or spaces or any visual aid. The library is its most compact form. Itâs very recommendable to use this version of jQuery in order to avoid delays in loading time for oneâs web pages.

What is javascript-based jQuery?
jQuery is a popular library used by big brands such as Microsoft, ESPN and Twitter
How does it help us as developers?
Itâs a matter of âwhy reinvent the wheel?â thousands of coders have already tried, rewritten and debugged all the most common types of functionalities needed.
Besides the chance that a piece of code you write might not be compatible with most big web browsers the way jQuery is, itâs still best to understand all the code your program leans on.
However once you do, there is no reason to write it yourself unless youâve noticed a certain feature you would like changed.
Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
The uncompressed version contains comments, whitespaces and unnecessary characters in case you want to enter the file and tinker with it or understand how it works. The minified version isnât for reading or tinkering but for you to use once you already now that jQuery provides you with the functionality youâre looking for

It helps us as developers by making the coding of powerful and functional web pages and apps easier. It is great for things like animations, Ajax requests, DOM manipulation, image effects, and user interface elements. It also makes it easy to write JavaScript that is compatible with many browsers.

We have two versions of jQuery because the uncompressed is easier to read and work with, but heavier for users to download. With the minfied version, all the unnecessary characters are removed and making it less heavy for the user to download, and this is why this version is the one that should be used on the sites we make.

jQuery is a library which you can use when developing webpages with Javascript.
-
With jQuery you can build Javascript webpages quicker and easier. You also don´t have to worry about different browsers, jQuery does it for you. Without jQuery you have to adapt the webpages to every browser via Javascript. jQuery allows the programmer to use less lines of code in comparison when Javascript would be used and achieve the same result. It contains already a lot of functions/methods which are very useful/necessary.
-
The minified version contains only the lines of codes without any comments, whitespaces and so on and so forth. That makes the size of the file smaller and it can be downloaded quicker (it is on the webpage). But without any comments the code is hard to understand and read from the outside. That means another developer or even you should continue working on your webpage has problems of understand what the lines of code are doing. Therefore, the uncompressed file contains comments whitespaces etc. which makes it easier to read and modify.

jQuery is a library for JavaScript that is free to download and use. The jQuery library is itself written in JavaScript and is supplied in a single .js file. This .js file can be included into your own program files, so the capabilities can then be used in your own Javascript code.
-
It helps developers by making it quicker to write JavaScript as it provides reusable capabilities (via the functions it makes available) that would otherwise take many lines of code to implement directly in JavaScript from scratch.

There are two versions of jQuery: The uncompressed version is easily readily with white-space/formatted code but has the disadvantage of being very large. Whilst the minified version contains the same code but with all the white-space/unnecessary characters removed - making it difficult to read by humans but with the advantage of substantially reducing the .js file size. This is the one to link to in your programs.
