JQuery – Introduction
JQuery is feature-packed JavaScript library to simplify client-side scripting of HTML. It makes HTML document traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and Ajax simplify by API that works across a multitude of browsers .In order to finish off the task that require many lines of JavaScript code to accomplish them into a single line of code.
JQuery’s syntax is designed to navigate a document, select DOM elements, create animations, handle events, and develop Ajax applications .It also provides capabilities for developers to create plug-ins on top of the JavaScript library and enables developers to create abstractions for low-level interaction and animation, advanced effects and high-level, themeable widgets.
JQuery library allows the creation of powerful dynamic web pages and Web applications through modular approach.
Features of JQuery:
- DOM element selections, traversal and manipulation
- After which created a new “programming style”, fusing algorithms and DOM data structures.
- This style influenced the architecture of other JavaScript frameworks like YUI v3 and Dojo.
- Created standard Selectors API
