jQuery

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

Description

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 jQuery plug-ins.

• 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.
