Javascript Programming

JQuery is a library of java Script code that adds functionality to your webpage. You can develop the code yourself but why reinvent the wheel.

It helps developer because they don’t have to start from scratch or worry about if their code will be compatible with different browsers.

We have two versions of JQ because one is the full version/uncompressed with comments and white space that is easy to understand. And the mine version which has no comments or white spaces and is about eight times smaller in size.

You can fast and easily add code using just a couple of lines.
It saves time

3.)

  • 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. JQuery is the most popular JS library nowadays.

  2. Just because it allow us to build webpages and webapps in a more quick and easy form.

  3. The uncompressed version is used to read and understand the code written into the library itself. But JS files on this type of version can easily reach KB of space, not quite appropriate to store in the server. So, a second version was “created”, in order to reduce the size of the file at its minimum and that’s the minified version. A version where comments, whitespaces and all unnecessary characters are removed from the library file.

It is written in JavaSacript, and comes in the form of a single .js file that you link from your web page. Your JavaScript code then accesses the library bu calling various jQuery functions.

  2. It helps us save time by using code others have already written. It also is easier to use in different browsers and there would be no incompatibilities.

  3. We have 2 forms of jQuery which is the uncompressed .js file, which is easy to read and modify, but it’s around 160kb in size.
