  2. It is pre-written and therefore can be easily implemented into code with very little work.
  3. The larger version is easier to read and modify but the small version is what you can actually place on the website and maintain efficiency in terms of speed.

  1. jQuery is a JavaScript library.
  2. A JavaScript library, such as jQuery, helps developers by allowing them to use already established code to perform a number of desired functions. In other words, they can call functions that have already been coded/developed, rather than creating code for each function from inception.
  3. The two versions of jQuery each provide different forms of the library. One is an easier to read form, but is a larger download size, and hence slower. The other is harder to read, but is a smaller download size and faster.

  1. The most popular JavaScript library for web development (or at least it was 11 years ago, at the time the article was written)
  2. With ready to use tools making web animation, form querying, client-side checks, form handling and MUCH MORE! a lot easier.
  3. Because the compiler doesn’t care, but the browser downloading the library does. Using the minified version in web pages decreases necessary loading time.

  1. What is jQuery?
    Is the most popular library in use nowadays.

  2. How does it help us as developers?
    Often with jQuery you can write a single line of code to achieve what would have taken 10-20 lines of regular JavaScript code. therefore makes it quicker and easier to build JavaScript webpages and web apps

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

The uncompressed is easy to read and modify, but it’s larger in size

the minifies is much smaller in size but you cant easily read the code

jquery is a free javascript library

jquery makes it easy for us to write powerful js apps and create eye catching animated effects and some other stuffs too.

uncompressed has all the necessary information and is easy to read,
but has a bigger size compared to minified. The bigger the size, the slower
it loads in the browser.

minified erased all the comments, whitespace and other unncessesary characters from the file.

  1. jQuery is a JS library that enables developers to build websites more swiftly.

  2. jQuery can achieve with a single line of code, what normal JS can achieve with 10-20 lines of code; jQuery makes developing much more efficient.

  3. minified jQuery is useful to use when you want to use a file on your webpage --> the file size is smaller as it removes unnecessary characters from the file; it is however, not as easy to modify as a result.

uncompressed jQuery is a larger file that contains all of the characters that would’ve been excluded in a minified file. This makes the file much easier to modify and amend. However, this also makes the file much larger and inconvenient for websites, as users will have to deal with longer download times.

  2. It helps us as developers because we can write powerful JavaScript apps using fewer lines of code. It also lets you easily write cross-browser JavaScript code so you don’t need to worry what browser the client is using.

  3. We have 2 versions of jQuery: Minified is a smaller file size(23kb) which should be placed on the website so visitors can download the data quicker. The uncompressed version is larger(160kb) and easier to read and modify, but would be less efficient for use on your website.

  2. jQuery helps developers by providing commonly needed code in a ‘pre-packaged’ library
  3. There are two versions of jQuery because one, uncompressed, contains all of the functions, comments, neat formatting to make the library easy to ready. The second format, minified, is compressed to make it quicker to use when included in a website.

  1. JQuery is a Javascript library of functions that you can call when building your web page or web app.
  2. JQuery saves us time by providing us with the functions useful to our web pages or apps. We can only apply a few tweaks to make it relevant to our project. This makes it quicker to build the page or app.
  3. The full one has all the comments and whitespaces that we may need to read the code and understand it at the expense of space. The minified one is the one with all comments and other non-code characters removed. This one has a small footprint so it can be used on the pages to give a fast browsing experience.

      We can’t easily read the code, but this is the version we’ll want to place on our site, as it’s much quicker for visitors to download.

    It is a library that is created to make java script programming easier and faster.

    By providing Devs with means to easily create powerful apps by using the code for common tasks and it’s compatible with different browsers.

  3. Why do we have 2 versions of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
    The uncompressed version is easy to read and modify, but it’s larger (around 160) in kb size while the minified version has all comments, whitespace, and other unnecessary characters removed from the file and therefore the whole library is significantly smaller in size (23kb). Because of that is not easy to read the code in minified version . For final version of website, it is better to use minified version because it is much quicker for visitors to download.
