  1. JQuery is one of the most popular free JavaScript libraries.
  2. It allows a faster and easyer development of JavaScript websites and web applications. JQuery avoids having to re-develop something that already exists. It also saves time, as its code is much more compact. And it provides interesting features that will probably work in differente browsers.
  3. The uncompressed version is easy to read and modify. But the minified version is much faster to access. On the other hand, the uncompressed version is heavier for downloading. And the minified version is difficult to be understood, since it doesn’t have comments or blank spaces.

jQuery is the most widely used library of code.
2. How does it help us as developers?
It aids devs in creating interactive cross-browser websites with ease.
. Why do we have 2 versions of jQuery?
The minified version is better for final code since the file is smaller and easier to download from the client’s end. The uncompressed version is better for learning how to use jQuery and write drafts of websites. The uncompressed version is much easier to read and modify as the dev, since it is spaced regularly whereas the minified version’s info is minified to lower the file size.
