What is jQuery?

jQuery is a lightweight, "write less, do more", JavaScript library.

The purpose of jQuery is to make it much easier to use JavaScript on your website.

jQuery takes a lot of common tasks that requires many lines of JavaScript code to accomplish, and wraps it into methods that you can call with a single line of code.

jQuery also simplifies a lot of the complicated things from JavaScript, like AJAX calls and DOM anipulation.
The jQuery library contains the following features:
  1.  HTML/DOM manipulation
  2.  CSS manipulation
  3.  HTML event methods
  4.  Effects and animations
  5.  AJAX
  6.  Utilities
