Since its release in 2006, jQuery has triggered revolutionary changes in the world of web development and has now firmly consolidated itself as the ultimate JavaScript library. The appeal of jQuery lies in its accessibility and multi-faceted versatility. It streamlines common tasks with fast, free, cross-browser functionality to enable greater efficiency and ease of use when writing JavaScript.

The vast availability of plugins is one of the key factors that enriches jQuery and makes it the most popular JavaScript framework in the world. These tools facilitate advanced extension in design and development without being complicated and laborious, and can do wonders in enhancing the website user’s experience.
