1. What is jQuery?

jQuery is a library that makes it quicker and easier to build JavaScript webpages and web apps.

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.

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

ā—¦ The uncompressed .js file is easy to read and modify, but itā€™s around 160kb in size (at the time of writing).

ā—¦ The minified .js file has all comments, whitespace, and other unnecessary characters removed from the file, squeezing the whole library into a mere 23kb. Although you canā€™t easily read the code, this is the version youā€™ll want to place on your site, as itā€™s much quicker for visitors to download.

  1. jQuery is a free javascript library that allows you to write powerful and creative Javascript apps with very few lines of codes.
  2. It allows us to write powerful coding using very few lines. It saves us time so that we donā€™t have to write the code from scratch.
  3. uncompressed jQuery is easy to read and and modify due to comments and unnecessary characters that make it easy to understand. It is however approximately 160 kbs. minified jQuery is only about 23 kbs in size because it does not include all the comments and unnecessary characters are not included.

jQuery is a popular javascript library that is used by many big companies websites including Microsoft and Twitter.

2. How does it help us as developers?

This helps us as developers by allowing us to access a huge amount of pre-writtent code for thing we may wish to do on our own website. We can just write 1 line of code that uses a jQuery function rather thank 20 of our own lines. It also aids with multi browser support.

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

There is a small and large version. The large version contains all of the comments and spacing and is easy to read. The smaller version is best for website use as it is condensed to 26kb and enables quicker user download.

What is jQuery?

jQuery is a library containing the most commonly used functions for webpage design.

How does it help us as developers?

Developers can write 90%-95% less code by calling jQuery functions as opposed to writing their own JavaScript code by using jQuery.

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

The uncompressed jQuery file is easy to read and modify, but is larger in size, and thus require more time to download. The minified removes all comments and whitespace to reduce file size, so visitors can download the file more quickly.

1. jQuery is a library of JavaScript code. This code was previously written and used by a developer to produce a variety of uses mostly in HTML web development. The developer or developers who originally wrote the onerous code are willing to share their product. jQuery is a boon for its time saving and concise simplicity. It is a free and open source software.
2. jQuery is a tool to help developers become more productive. Especially when a large volume of code is necessary to produce an application. More than likely someone has written the code already and it is available on jQuery. jQuery is licensed for public use and the appropriate file can be easily linked . Therefore the entire volume of the code does not have to appear in your program. Often the link can be handled with only one line.
3. In jQuery the developer has the option to use it in two ways. The uncompressed.js file or the minified.js file. Here is where the volume of the code can be limited based on the preference of the developer. The uncompressed.js code is the full size version with the entire code that loads more slowly for the end user. The minified.js code is basically the opposite version of the uncompressed and is a more efficient time/space saver for the developer and loads faster for the end user.

  1. jQuery is a library with functionality which makes it easier to incorporate that functionality into your website.
  2. You donā€™t need to reinvent the wheel since you use already develloped code.
  3. Uncompressed is easier to read and modify. The minified version is the one the you incorporate. It is compressed and loads a lot quicker since a lot of information which is not necessary for it to work is omitted.

  1. What is jQuery?

A library that is full of handy functions.

  1. How does it help us as developers?

By using jQuery a developer can save a lot of time. Especially jQuery is working on different browser in the same way. So, a developer donā€™t need to care about the implementation. If writing code on yourself, you need to do!

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

The uncompressed version i.e. can be used for a fork. The code is formatted, commented and verbose. The minified version instead is a shorter version. The usecase of it is that when jQuery is implemented into a website, then the code only needs to be functional. That means at this point comments, formatting and those stuff are unnecessarily lines for the compiler. Therefore, they are removed when the code is implemented into a website after the developer finished it.

Cheers

1-What is jQuery?
Jquery is a library mostly used by even the biggest digital companies.

2-How does it help us as developers?
Ä°t makes us adjust DOM, change and add dynamic effects to the elements, and let us use AJAX and be able to request additional information and change the foreground of the site, without refreshing the page. Also it helps the page to keep its form and avoid anomalies when the client side is using different browsers.

3-Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
The minimum version is 23 kb while the uncompressed version is 160kb. When loading a page, it loads faster if we use the 23 kb version.

  1. jQuery is a free, popular JavaScript library that can add a lot of functionalities to your website or web app.
  2. It helps us by saving time from otherwise writing some functions and codes from scratch.
  3. The uncompressed one can help developers understand the functions in the library. The minified file is what is advisable for use on oneā€™s website to make it easier for users to download.
