jQuery.com - A More Concise JavaScript Library

jQuery offers a set of widgets and interactions built using jQuery JavaScript Library. It’s concise and quick, simplifying how you traverse HTML documents, handle events, perform animations and add Ajax to your web pages. Core components operate around mouse actions—drag and drop, sorting, resizing, selecting, etc. Reusable widgets include accordions, dialogs, sliders, tabs and date pickers. Using jQuery you end up writing less lines of code then you normally would if you started out with DOM javascript, for example. jQuery is thus suitable for everyone, designers, businesses, developers, and hobbyists. It’s a relatively light app at 14KB compressed, it supports CSS1-3 and XPath, and it works across browsers. Download it for free, and check out the jQuery book for more information.

“jQuery UI is a set of themable widgets and interactions, built on top of the jQuery JavaScript Library, that you can use to build highly interactive web applications.

The core of the library revolves around different mouse interactions, namely drag and dropping, sorting, selecting, and resizing.

On top of the core interactions are built a number of reusable widgets, including accordions, date pickers, dialogs, sliders, table sorters, and tabs.

Finally, the library is finished off with a few effects that you can use to liven up your site, specifically magnifier and shadow.”

jQuery is flexible enough for a wide range of interests. It also simplifies matters quite a bit, making it possible for users to concentrate on more pressing tasks.

How is jQuery going to make money from this?
