jQuery was first released in January 2006 by John Resig at BarCamp NYC. It is currently headed by Timmy Wilson and maintained by a team of developers.
Nowadays, jQuery is a widely used technology. Most of the websites are using 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 require many lines of JavaScript code to accomplish, and wraps them 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 manipulation.
The jQuery library contains the following features:
· HTML/DOM manipulation
· HTML event methods
· effects and animations
· AJAX
· Utilities
· CSS manipulation
Why we use jQuery?
There are lots of other JavaScript frameworks out there, but jQuery seems to be the most popular, and also the most extendable. Many of the biggest companies on the Web use jQuery, such as:
· Google
· Microsoft
· IBM
· Netflix
