jQuery is an open-source Javascript library that makes writing Javascript quicker, easier and cleaner. The library has support for traversing HTML documents, handling events, performing animations, and adding Ajax interactions to your web pages. It also offers all of the usual fading, sliding, animation effects you expect from a JS library these days.
It’s lightweight, weighing in at a not-so hefty 20kb and supports CSS1-3 and basic XPath.
