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?

jQuery assist developers to be more efficient. With jQuery a developer could 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?

Minified is harder to read because the whole library is only 23kb. All comments, whitespace and unnecessary characters are removed from the file to make this happen. This version is the want people use on their sites because it is quicker for visitors to download.

Uncompressed is easy to read and modify. Since it is at least 160kb, it will take longer to download and it is not as desirable to use in websites. A developer can use uncompressed and then minify the JS in order to improve a website speed.

    JQuery is a JavaScript library
  2. How does it help us as developers?
    It allows us to write things which would normally take a lot more lines of code in a lot less lines of code.
    Particularly, it gives us great tools to make requests to the server after the page has loaded (AJAX), add animating effects to elements like sliding in, manipulate the DOM by easily adding, removing and reordering content, making drop-down menus, creating drag and drop interfaces, adding power to forms by creating client-side validation or auto-complete AJAX fields that pull from the server.
  3. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery – minified and uncompressed?
    Minified is best for final use in code as it is much smaller to load though it is hard to read and edit as a result - The uncompressed version is great if you want to take a look at the code or edit it

  1. jQuery is a free JS library.

  2. jQuery is a single .js file that you link to from your webpage. Your JS code then accesses the library by calling various jQuery functions. This allows you to write powerful JS apps using fewer lines of code. jQuery is very useful when wanting to add animated effects, Ajax requests, DOM manipulations, image effects and user interface elements. jQuery lets you easily write cross-browser JS code.

  3. There are two versions of jQuery:

  • uncompressed .js file is easy to read and modify but is around 106kb in size.

  • minified .js file has all comments, whitespace and unnecessary characters removed, reducing the size to 23kb and making it much quicker for visitors to your site to download. However, the code in this version is not easy to read.

  2. JQuery makes it easier and faster to write code. Instead of writing complex, multi line codes which increases the chances of errors and takes up time, jQuery allows the programmer to implement functionalities with only one line of code or by just copying the code directly from the library.

  3. Uncompressed is the unedited jQuery library. The code is easier to read but the file is larger, coming in around 160 kb. Minified is the compressed version of jQuery library. A number of comments, lines, whitespaces, unnecessary characters have been removed and the library has been compressed down to 23 kb. The code is difficult to read though but the minified version is the most common jQuery used around the web.
