  1. What is jQuery?

  1. How does it help us as developers?

ANS:

These JavaScript code library’s (jQuery) make it quicker and much easier for these programme writers to build JavaScript webpage’s and/or web based applications.

  1. Why do we have 2 versions of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?

ANS:

  • minified.js file is a more condensed version of the JavaScript code , meaning it loads faster! Comments, whitespace, and any other unnecessary characters are thus removed from this library. Code size matters when it comes to faster downloading of webpage content and responsive user experience.

  • Alternately, the uncompressed.js file version of JavaScript code found in the jQuery libraries boosts programmer readability. All of the necessary information is included making it easier for a programmer to read. (…and edit the code.)
