What is jQuery?
"jQuery is a new kind of JavaScript Library. It 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."

Most of the applications not using common/standard JS code (Re-usability). jQuery reduces the effort with its powerful function lib.
