  1. JQuery is a free Javascript library, in fact the most popular.

  2. JQuery makes it easier and quicker for us developers to make web pages and apps. It has a lot of functionality written in less code, this could be done with own written code, but it would take much more effort and time, as the article says, “Why reinvent the wheel?”.

  3. The library comes in two forms or versions, minified and uncompressed, the first one 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.

The other one is the bigger in size,but is easy to read and modify.

3. Why do we have 2 versions of jQuery – minified and uncompressed?
There are 2 versions of jQuery because the uncompressed version is human-readable and is used to edit the code to the developer’s desire. The minified version is compressed to maximize browser performance.

  1. What is jQuery?
    jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library. It makes things like HTML document traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and Ajax much simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across a multitude of browsers.

  2. How does it help us as developers?
    It is free, open-source software using the permissive MIT License.
    jQuery also provides capabilities for developers to create plug-ins on top of the JavaScript library. This enables developers to create abstractions for low-level interaction and animation, advanced effects and high-level, themeable widgets. The modular approach to the jQuery library allows the creation of powerful dynamic web pages and Web applications.

  3. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
    Uncompressed is the readable format for jQuery with spaces and line breaks, making it a lot easier for you to read and get a better understanding of the framework. The compressed version, removes the spaces and line breaks, so the benefit here is that you get a reduced file size but it is not as readable to humans.

. Web pages can be changed just by changing a small amount of code and the code becomes more readable.

  2. How does it help us as developers?
    You can call JS common tasks from the library, using single line codes to make it easier and faster to write your program by using code that has been written already.

  3. Why do we have 2 versions of jQuery – minified and uncompressed?
    Both have all the programming or code, but only one has all the comments included, which makes the file much bigger and takes longer to download to the client’s web browser. The web browser only needs the code and not all the comments, so you could use the smaller one when you are done programming.
