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

The uncompressed version is easy to read with comments providing documentation and insight along with whitespace in the form of indentation. The uncompressed jquery.js is 282kB in size whereas the compressed version is 71kB. The minified version cuts out anything that is not interpreted by the browser console to reduce the data size to reduce waste.

What is jQuery?

The most popular Javascript Library

How does it help us as developers?

By using a library such as jQuery, we can write code in one line that would have taken 10 to 20 lines of regular code.

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

One, the uncompressed version, has the code in a readable format but is 160kb in size. The minified version is only 23kb, but is compressed to eliminate unnecessary characters and spaces making it extremely hard to read. The latter version is best used for the application being created as it is much quicker to download for the user.

jQuery is a library, or collection of pre-written code in JavaScript.

The library jQuery helps developers by immensely saving time. This is done by referencing the already written functions etc within the library opposed to writing it all themselves.

There are 2 versions, or download sizes, of jQuery and this is for download speed purposes. There is an uncompressed version, 160kb, and a compressed, 23kb. The uncompressed contains all comments and other tools used for reading the code. The compressed version removes all unnecessary characters so only the code remains, making for a quicker visitor download.

1. What is jQuery?

jQuery is a public library of JS codes that any website can link to and utilize as part of its operating code.

2. How does it help us as developers?

It helps us by allowing us to shorten the amount of code needed to perform certain tasks and it saves us time and energy by making it possible for us to borrow and use complex pieces of code without having to write it ourselves.

3. Why do we have a 2nd version of jQuery – minified and uncompressed?

The minified version is around eight times smaller than the uncompressed version. This is because it lacks the explanations and notes that come along with all the code in the main file. It is therefore hard to read but it doesn’t take nearly as long to load on your website as the larger file.

  1. What is jQuery?
    jQuery is a JavaScript library containing lots of predefined code for the different functionalities that enhance web development.

  2. How does it help us as developers?
    By not having to start every coding from scratch. Rather than think through how to realize a particular functionality we can use a “tried and tested” approach. We still need the ability to understand the code and maybe even add some of our own but it saves us a lot of time.

  3. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery – minified and uncompressed?
    The minified version is leaner - smaller size consumes less browser or server resources. The uncompressed version is larger because it contains comments and white space which enable us to better read and understand the code.

  1. jQuery is most popular Javascript library, where you can find lot of predefined functions, animations and more.

  2. You can save your time to write code from scratch and use libraries to be more efficient.

  3. Minified version of jQuery consumes less size, so your page will load faster. Uncompressed version contains also white space and comments, so it consumes bigger amount of space, which make it slower to load in comparison to minified ver.
