jQuery is a cross-browser Javascript library, designed to simplify the client-side scripting of HTML. Since its release in January 2006, it has been the first choice of all Web Developers around the Globe to make their web projects more dynamic. jQuery is fast, concise, library that simplifies how to traverse HTML documents, handle events, perform animations, and add AJAX.
