jQuery

jQuery is not a language, but it is a well written JavaScript code. As quoted on official jQuery website, "it is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development."

It was released in January 2006 at BarCamp NYC by John Resig.

jQuery is very compact and well written JavaScript code that increases the productivity of the developer by enabling them to achieve critical UI functionality by writing very small amount of code.
It helps to improve the performance of the application
It helps to develop most browser compatible web page
It helps to implement UI related critical functionality without writing hundreds of lines of codes
It is fast
It is extensible – jQuery can be extended to implement customized behavior

Other advantages of jQuery are:
No need to learn fresh new syntaxes to use jQuery, knowing simple JavaScript syntax is enough
Simple and cleaner code, no need to write several lines of codes to achieve complex functionality
