jQuery

jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library that makes HTML document traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and Ajax much simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across a multitude of browsers. Only about 30kB minified and gzipped, available as an AMD module, and CSS3 compliant. jQuery 4.0 is the current release; jQuery 3.x receives critical updates only.

jQuery publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include AJAX, DOM Manipulation, Front-End, JavaScript, and Library.

jQuery’s developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, and 9 more developer resources.
