About

Facebook SDK is a library that provides client-side tools for Social Plugins, Facebook Login, and Graph API calls.

It enables loading Social Plugins such as Like, Share, or Comments buttons, initiating Facebook Login with configurable permissions, and opening dialogs for sharing, fetching and updating data via Graph API endpoints.

jQuery is a fast, small, feature-rich JavaScript library designed to simplify HTML DOM tree traversal and manipulation, event handling, CSS animations, and Ajax.

It provides a cross-browser selector engine, formerly known as Sizzle, supports deferred and promise objects for asynchronous workflows, has built-in JSON parsing and utility functions, and allows extensibility through a large ecosystem of plugins.
