  1. jQuery is a free Javascript library.
  2. It helps us to re-use existing code for things like animation, DOM manipulation, image effects and user interface elements. It enables us to write code using fewer lines of code.
  3. Uncompressed version contains comments so it is easier to understand, but it is larger. On the other hand the minified version is free from unneccessary clutter and is smaller in size - we use this one to implement on our website so it is quicker to download by the client.

  1. jQuery is a library that makes it quicker and easier to build JavaScript webpages and web apps thru pre-written code.

  2. Saves us time by allowing us to do more with less lines of code.

  3. Uncompressed is a larger file but more developer friendly and easier to read considering it includes code comments. Minified removes all code comments and unnecessary characters making it a smaller file and faster for user to download.

  1. What is jQuery?
    jQuery is a library for javascript programmers to use previously built functions for quicker and easier integrations into websites and web apps.

  2. How does it help us as developers?
    It helps us time writing codes for a specific function that has already been built by other developpers.

  3. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
    They are for different purposes. Minified is for faster download. Uncompressed is easier to read and modify but a larger file.

  1. jQuery is a free multi-use library that anyone can use to simplify or add functionality to their webpage/website.
  2. We are able to re-use code someone else has written already. We can add functionality by simply calling the library & calling functions within that library.
  3. One version has comments & regular coding, while the smaller compressed version has all that removed but retains functionality - this enables it to be a smaller download, thus increasing speed. May be useful for mobile apps etc since it is a smaller file.

1.) & 2.)jQuery is a free Javascript library used by programmers to add dynamic effects to webpages saving time and energy for programmers so they are not required to write long redundant code for specific funtions they invoke.
3.)There exists two versions of jQuerey one (the latter) is for easily reading yet takes up a lot more space and the other (the former) is used in the website itself and is a fraction of the size of the uncompressed.js file.

  2. It allows code to be written more efficiently and therefore saves time and space.

  3. The uncompressed .js file is easy to read and modify, but it has a lot of code and comments and its size is bigger.The minified .js file has all comments, white space, and other unnecessary characters removed from the file, squeezing the whole library and makes it smaller in size.

  1. jQuery is a library for Javascript programming.
  2. It makes it much easier to develop a program by granting access to an enormous quantity of code previously developed by other programmers. By using it, programmers can save a lot of time.
  3. The uncompressed version of jQuery is heavier. It is the most complete but also the heavier to download. The minified version does not include comments, whitespace or other unnecessary characters which would make the library much less convenient to use.

  1. 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 is itself written in JavaScript, and comes in the form of a single .js file.

  2. Most commonly used functions are already written so we dont have to write them from 0 again. Another of jQuery’s strong points is that it makes it easy to write JavaScript that works on many different browsers. Incompatibilities between popular browsers such as IE, Firefox and Safari mean that you often need to write different chunks of JavaScript code for each browser. With jQuery, however, you just call the appropriate jQuery function and let jQuery deal with making the code run on different browsers.
    Amongst other things, jQuery is great for:

  • Adding animated effects to elements
  • Making XML (Ajax) requests
  • Manipulating the DOM
  • Creating image slideshows
  • Making drop-down menus
  • Creating drag-and-drop interfaces
  • Adding power to forms
  1. uncompressed .js file is easy to read and modify, but its bigger and so it is more convenient to use minified .js file because it has all comments, whitespace, and other unnecessary characters removed from the file. 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.

  • What is jQuery?
    It’s a Javascript library.

  • How does it help us as developers?
    It helps developers to create easy and powerful JavaScript apps and create eye-catching animations. Some of the functions make sliders, interactive forms, drop-down menus and drag & drop interfaces.

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

The Minified version is small, 23kb. It has no comments, whites-paces or unnecessary characters which makes it difficult to ready but easily downloadable in a website for the user.

The uncompressed .js file in contrast is easy to read and modify but very big in size, 160kb.

  • 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. Is a library that makes it quicker and easier to build Javascript web pages and web apps.

  2. It helps us to simplify our codes and make it shorter rather than we will wrote it in several lines of code and because of that we can save more time and space.

  3. Because it has to do with the choice and convenience of the programmer on what type of jQuery he/she is comfortable to use.
    He/she can choose between the two:
    -uncompressed.js which is easy to read and modify because it is the raw file, the full version, but it’s around 160kb in size.
    -minified.js which has all the comments and whitespace, and other unnecessary characters removed from the file, squeezing the whole library into mere 23kb and which makes it the more ideal version to place on your site because it’s much quicker for visitors to download.

  1. jQuery is a free JavaScript library that allows you to build web pages faster and easier.
  2. jQuery gives us access to powerful tools to create slick looking and highly functional web pages and apps without having to write all the code needed, saving lots of time, and allowing for even more creativity while designing a web page or app. It also allows for greater cross-browser compatibility.
  3. The minified version has all unnecessary parts removed (comments, etc.) so it is faster to download to a web page (use this one on your website), whereas the uncompressed version, while larger, is much easier to read and modify.

  1. jQuery is a lightweight javascript library.
  2. it makes it easier and quicker to build a javascript webpage and web app. jQuery takes 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.
  3. uncompressed is bigger inside it contains all the comments , whitespace, and other unnecessary characters that help the developer to read and modify easily.
    Minified is much smaller it does not contains the comments, whitespace, and other characters and therefore faster for visitors.
