  jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library that makes HTML
  document traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and Ajax much
  simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across a multitude of browsers.
  Only about 30kB minified and gzipped, available as an AMD module, and CSS3
  compliant. jQuery 4.0 is the current release; jQuery 3.x receives critical
  updates only.
