  1. What is jQuery?
    jQuery is a library of javascript functions that is open source and can be used to help create your own websites

  2. How does it help us as developers?
    It helps to reduce the time taken to create a website as we can use functions from the JQuery library instead of writing them from scratch

  3. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
    The uncompressed version contains comments and white space to help readability if you want to understand what the functions do. The minified version contains purely code and is much smaller in size which is more beneficial to use in a website as it will be faster to load.

  1. What is jQuery?

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

  1. How does it help us as developers?

With jQuery you can write a single line of code to achieve what would have taken 10-20 lines of regular JavaScript code.

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

Because the uncompressed .js file is easy to read and modify, but it’s too bigger in size. So you need a version (minified) to place on your site that is more smaller in size and much more quicker for visitors to download, although you can’t easily read the code, because all comments, whitespace, and other unnecessary characters was removed from the file.

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

  2. It helps us save time! With jQuery you can write powerful JavaScript apps using fewer lines of code.

  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 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 that you link to from you webpage. Your JavaScript code then accesses the library by calling various jQuery functions.

  2. By adding animated effects to elements, making XML (Ajax) requests additional data from the Web server without having to reload the page, manipulating the DOM, creating image slideshows, making drop-down menus, drag-and-drop interfaces and adding power to forms.

  3. Uncompressed .js file is easy to read and modify, but its’ around 160kb in size contrary to the minified .js file, only 23kb (faster for visitors), and has all comments, white space, and other unnecessary characters removed from the file, squeezing the whole library, and you can’t read easily as per uncompressed.

1: jQuery is a library based on JavaScript that helps developers build more effective and faster code and even with more complexity.

2: It allows you to be able to work on multiple browsers. Also, you can build complex code from another database. Having you save 10-20 lines of code is what jQuery is all about.

3: Uncompressed is easy to read but is very large and the Minified is just the lines of functions and such you need for your website. This allows you to save space in your code but it is hard to read.

    jQuery is a free-to-use and download JavaScript library.

  2. How does it help us as developers?
    jQuery helps to build webpages using JavaScript quickly and effectively. With jQuery it is easy to create powerful JavaScript apps and various effects, such as:
    a) fading in/out, expanding/contracting, sliding in/out,
    b) making Ajax requests,
    c) traversing the DOM,
    d) drop-down menus and dragndrop interfaces,
    e) slideshows,
    f) input form validation.
    Last but not least, jQuery ensures cross-browser compatibility, which saves our time and efforts.

  3. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
    The uncompressed jQuery is full-size library of 162kb(at the time of writing), which is easy to read and modify. Instead minified one has all the comments and blank spaces removed from the file, which drastically saves the space (23kb) and is fast to download, although more difficult to read.

3.) minified: unnecessary code is removed. The small file is not very readable but fast to download.
uncompressed: The whole code. Is easier to read, understand, modify. The bigger file is slower to download and not necessary if you want the functionality on your website.

  1. jQuery is a popular free JavaScript library.

  2. jQuery allows you to simplify what would be 10-20 lines of JavaScript into 1 or 2 lines using the jQuery library.

  3. There are two versions, the uncompressed .js file and the minified .js file. The uncompressed file is easy for a developer to read the comments and see how the functions work. The minified version has the whitespace and comments removed so that the file is smaller and therefore loads faster on your websites.

  1. What is jQuery?
    jQuery is a library of pre-written, very useful functions that can be linked from your html file in order to save time and effort on “recreating the wheel” where it already exists.

  2. How does it help us as developers?
    Programming efficiency (time and expertise), clean code.

  3. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
    Minified is a smaller file and allows for faster code, but it is more difficult to look at the code within the functions, while uncompressed is a much larger file and can slow down the program, but the code within jQuery is more easily accessible.
