  1. What is jQuery?
    JQuery is the most popular JavaScript library in use today. It is a library that makes it quicker and easier to build JavaScript webpages and web apps.

  2. How does it help us as developers?
    It can write a single line of code to achieve what would have taken 10-20 lines of regular JavaScript code. In details it does the following: •
    Adding animated effects to elements. jQuery lets you easily add effects such as fading in/out, sliding in/out, and expanding/contracting.
    • Making XML (Ajax) requests. These use JavaScript to request additional data from the Web server without having to reload the page.
    • Manipulating the DOM. You can easily add, remove, and reorder content in the Web page using just a couple of lines of code.
    • Creating image slideshows. You can use jQuery effects to build nice animated slideshows and lightboxes.
    • Making drop-down menus. jQuery makes it easy to create multi-level dropdowns with animations.
    • Creating drag-and-drop interfaces. Use jQuery to build a page with elements that can be repositioned or reordered simply by dragging and dropping.
    • Adding power to forms. With jQuery you can easily add complex client-side form validation, create auto-complete Ajax text fields that pull data from a server-side database, and so on.

  3. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?

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.

Query is the go-to library for most developers for many reasons: ease of use, stability, cross-browser comparability, ease of integration with other frameworks, extensive documentation and a large user base, among many others.

The difference between the two files is that the development version is human readable with lots of white space and generous amounts of comments to help you understand the code.
