- jQuery is a free online JavaScript library that compile a bunch of files with different codes available for using different functionalities within JavaScript programming.
- It help us as developers offering us a lot of options without necessarily write the code aimed to achieve an specific purpose in the program. It is not necessary “to invent the wheel”. Therefore we can access to the library and get a code which compile the functionality or actions we need.
- Depending of the needs of the programmer, there are two versions. The uncompressed version is 160kb and it’s easy to read and modify but it is a large size file. In the other hand the minified version is compressed and allow us to access to the same resources without comments, spaces or unnecessary elements. Its 23kb size.

Because it is a way to write fewer lines of code do more with javascript. Often with jQuery what could take 10-20 lines of regular javascript code can be done with one single line when utilizing the jQuery library.

We have two versions of jQuery to allow for quicker download time for site visitors. the uncompressed .js file is easy to read & modify but is around 160kb in size (at time of answer submission) while the minified .js code is harder to read do the omission of all comments, whitespace, & unnecessary characters drastically reducing file size to a mere 23kb

- jQuery is a popular JavaScript library
- we can use jQuery .js files in our projects and potentially use 1 line of code instead of dozens to achieve the desired results
- uncompressed version contains the whole code and therefore the files are larger, while the minified version takes less space, quicker to load and the code is simplified

What is jQuery?
jQuery is a JavaScript library that is able to be publicly accessed and used. -
How does it help us as developers?
jQuery helps developers as we can use the jQuery library in our own code instead of having to write everything ourselves. It saves us time and ensures that the code will very likely be usable in every browser that will use the code. -
Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
The uncompressed is the file that we can read to understand the code and how it works. It is a much larger file size than the minified. The minified version is the one that is used in our code as it has the functionality but is smaller in file size so it is faster to load and run the code.

- jQuery is the largest javascript library that helps developers build websites faster and easier, used by twitter, Microsoft, espy, etc.
- It helps us as developers as it allows us to use code that is already created instead of reinventing the wheel. Also allows websites to maintain compatibility with different browsers.
- uncompressed, is for less experiences developers so there is comments and such that make it easier to understand, but it is larger in size.
minified, is for experienced programmers that don’t need the comments to understand the code, also a lot smaller in size.

- It helps developer to write more powerful JavaScript apps while using fewer lines of code.
- The minified version of jQuery has comments, whitespace and other unnecessary characters removed from the file, therefore squeezing its size to 23kb. Although the code this version is more difficult to read, this is the version recommended for use since it is quicker for visitors to download.
The uncompresses version is easier to read and modify, however it is much bigger in size.

One, uncompressed, is useful to read and modify. The other, minified, is more useful to use in the execution of the code since it is much smaller in size and results in lower latency for the user.

3Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
UNCOMPRESSED version is the version as it was develope, that means with spaces, indentations and comments. It is easy to read.
MINIFIED means its compressed and they have removed all unneccessary code. like spaces, indentations and comments. That means that the file is smaller and is loaded faster by the browser. So the Minified is the best to choose.

JQuery is a library that makes it quicker and easier to build webpages. The benefit is you can sometimes only write one line of code instead of 10 - 20 lines or more using JQuery.
- How does it help us as developers?
It helps us create code more efficiently and reuse code. Some of the applications of JQuery are the following: creating animated slide shows, manipulating the DOM, making XML (ajax) requests, and making drop down menus. These are just some of the features and benefits of how JQuery can help us as developers.
- Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
The uncompressed version was created so that you can read the code very easily.
However, the uncompressed version is 160kb while the minified version is 23kb. The one to download is the minified because the file size is much smaller, but there it is harder to read the code. You can read the code with the larger file, but the one you want to use is the minified.

jQuery is a JavaScript library which is free to download. As developers, jQuery helps us in that it makes writing code easier - it allows us to write less code. It helps us with creating features such as animation effects, Ajax requests, manipulating the DOM, create image slideshows, and user interface elements. It also helps the code run on various browsers. The reason for having 2 different versions of jQuery is that the uncompressed version is easy to read/modify, but the minified removes comments and whitespace from the file, making the file size smaller. The minified version is what developers want to use on their finished version of their sites.
