    The uncompressed .js file is easier to read and modify which makes it better to use while developing. The minified .js file is the version you want to use in production since the file is way smaller and quicker for visitors to download.

  1. Jquery Is a free javascript library
  2. no need to reinvent the wheel, reuse existing code and write fewer lines, lets you create animations, ajax requests, image effects, etc; it also lets you create code compatible to different browsers
  3. Uncompressed is the complete library with all the spaces, indentation and documentation for easy readibility however it takes more space to download. the minified has exactly same functionality but without the non-executed codes bit, which is the one you want to download in your code for execution.

  1. jQuery is a open source library everyone can use.

  2. it helps developers to work more efficient because they don’t really have to code all of the code and just use some templates in the jQuery library

  3. because minified compresses the file to one single line of code to reduce loading time. this compresses your long text based code to a single almost binary line of code.

  1. Query is a free JavaScript library, that we use in order to build JavaScript webpages and web apps quicker and easier.
  2. It helps developers to easily write cross-browser JavaScript code, powerful JavaScript apps using fewer lines of code, instead of writing 10-20 lines of regular JavaScript code.
  3. In order to choose if we want to use the form which have more details as comments, whitespace and other characters as the uncompressed.js file is which is more easy to read and modify, but is bigger in size or,
    a form with less details, as the minified.js file, which is less easy to read, but has less kb and it’s quicker to download.

  1. jQuery is a library that makes it quicker and easier to build JavaScript webpages and web apps.

  2. jQuery has a lot of built in functions such that make it unnecessary for you to write the code as well. It can sometimes compress 10-20 lines of code into one line. It provides many different types of functionality that would otherwise take long to code.

  3. The uncompressed version is there so that the user can read it and the minified version is made without any white spaces and is much harder to read but is a lot smaller in file size.

  1. jQuery is a free javascript library to implement already-proven-to-work code for different functions/CSS/UI’s/etc that allow programmers to access and use on their own created webpages.

  2. Answered above^ lol

  3. Minified version of jQuery is what we want to use when we source it on our own webpage because when the user comes to our page, his browser needs to download all the content/code. Sourcing the minified jQuery is exponentially smaller of a file size because it removes all the comments and parts of the written code that don’t affect the actual fundamentals of the executing code. Contrarily, the uncompressed version of jQuery includes all of the code, including comments.

  1. jQuery is the most popular JavaScript library in use today.

  2. jQuery allows developers to write JavaScript using fewer lines of code. jQuery functions also takes care of incompatibilities between different browsers. Moreover it is great for things like AJAX requests (accessing web servers and updating the web page without reloading the page), DOM manipulation, animations, and user interface elements.

  3. There are 2 versions of jQuery. The uncompressed version is useful for reading and modifying the library. The minified version is smaller (but same functionality) and therefore much quicker to download by the visitor of the web page.

“it’s by far the most popular JavaScript library in use today” written on february 2010, It could have changed, I do not know for sure but i will continue to inquire about this library.
jQuery is a library that makes it quicker and easier to build JavaScript webpages and web apps.

“The Write Less, Do More JavaScript Library” Cause it 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

One is for us to read and understand and the other is to be uploaded on our app, lighter and shorter but more difficult to read. the last one has all comments, whitespace, and other unnecessary characters removed from the file.

Hey!

  1. jQuery is a free Javascript library used in several different browsers and webpages.
  2. jQuery allows us developers to create and build pages based on code that has been previously written for easier implementation of functionality, user interaction, and versatility in webpages.
  3. We have two versions of jQuery because one is larger and more comprehensive while the other is a smaller size so as to be more easily accessed and used in web development.

jQuery Reading Assignment.

  1. jQuery - is a Library that makes it quick and easy to build JavaScript Webpages and Web Apps.

  2. It helps developers in the following ways:

  • shorten bundle of codes into a single line of code.
  • provide a single js.file that links to their webpage.
  • provide a free library to download and use.
  • provide a dual licenses ( MIT and GPL Licenses).
  • provide a JavaScript that works on many different browsers.
  • do things like animations, Ajax requests, DOM manipulation, image effects, and user interface elements.
  • write cross - browser JavaScript code.
  1. Reason why you have two versions of jQuery is:
    uncompressed .js file is easy to read and modify but slow to download (160kb) whiles minified .js file removes all the comments, whitespaces, and other unnecessary characters from the file which makes it fast to download ( 23kb).
