JQuery

jQuery is a cross-platform JavaScript library designed to simplify the client-side scripting of HTML.

jQuery is the most popular JavaScript library in use today.

jQuery is free, open-source software licensed under the MIT License.

jQuery's syntax is designed to make it easier to navigate a document, select DOM elements, create animations, handle events, and develop Ajax applications.

The jQuery library allows the creation of web applications.

jQuery 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, theme-able widgets.

Core DOM features

• DOM element selections
• DOM traversal
• DOM manipulation

jQuery influenced the architecture of other JavaScript frameworks like YUI v3 and Dojo, later stimulating the creation of the standard Selectors API.

• Microsoft includes it with Visual Studio for use within Microsoft's ASP.NET AJAX framework and ASP.NET MVC Framework
• Nokia has integrated it into the Web Run-Time widget development platform.
• jQuery has been used in MediaWiki since version 1.16.
