# Why is jQuery better than JavaScript?

* jQuery is great library for developing ajax based application.\
* It helps the programmers to keep code simple and concise and reusable.\
* jQuery library simplifies the process of traversal of HTML DOM tree.\
* jQuery can also handle events, perform animation, and add the Ajax support in web applications.\

Because in javascript we have to write functions with core & oops concepts, but in jquery we do't need to write more functions we just need only use those are already write in jquery library.\
