What can I use jquery for?

Question

Please, can someone tell me the benefits of jquery? Is it better than JavaScript?

Answer 1

jquery allows you to write the same things of javascript but in less lines of code, with a save of time and giving more elegance and legibility to your code

Answer 2

OK, it will be good for timer, because I'm working on an online exam project using php... So I need to implement timer for that using jquery instead of JavaScript

Answer 3

it was simplier for novices before. But now vanillaJS doesn't concede it.JS got many improvements! And jQuery is slower than pure js in big projects. For small and not responsible projects you can choose jQuery, but don't remember about vanilla JS
