jQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript.
Lightweight Footprint, CSS3 Compliant, cross-browser.
jQuery is best javascript toolkit around. Simple and usable even for CSS and HTML noobs (like me...). Ajax, DOM manipulation, animation effects and many more in a readable 1-2 liners of javascript. Impressive number of plugins, unfortunately not all maintained at root jQuery site, which requires a bit of googling. Documentation (as always) could have been better :)
Best allround Javascript-Framework I've experienced so far. Productivity is incredible and community on stackoverflow.com simply the best :-)
Regarding the documentation - it really makes sense to grab a book in order to get started.
jQuery is made to make difficult things very simple. It keeps you away from writing cross-browser compatabile code, implementing simple aniamtions or recursive methods to update multiple dom-elements. It helps you get things done very quickly and saves you a lot of frustration.
jQuery is a big project with huge community so it’s very good tested and you don’t have problems with finding solutions to your problems.
Great web framework that greatly simplifies development in JavaScript. Good API design, good official documentation, lots of community plugins with examples.
Shows that you can use the power of javascript in a simple and way.
