What is difference between jquery and javascript??

Answer 1

jQuery greatly simplifies vanilla JS, and adds a ton of new useful features to it. After you learn JavaScript, I'd highly recommend learning jQuery or one of the many other frameworks for it. (AngularJS, NodeJS, etc...)

Trust me, once you learn one of the frameworks, you'll wish that vanilla JS would just die. :D

Answer 2

Javascript is a programming language whereas jQuery is a framework to help make writing in javascript easier. It's particularly useful for simply traversing the DOM in an HTML page. ... jQuery is a wrapper of JavaScript, with much pre-written functionality and DOM traversing.
