About
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.
RequireJS is a JavaScript file and module loader.
