wo years ago, I wrote an article for DevX comparing all of the open source AJAX frameworks that were popular at that time. If I were to write the same article today, my framework of choice would be a library that was not even on my list in 2006. In 2008, jQuery would be the framework I choose. Some informal research revealed that I'm not alone; jQuery seems to be on its way to becoming the most popular of all AJAX frameworks.
The following are the main characteristics responsible for jQuery becoming such a popular choice among developers:
Simple programming model
Simplicity and straightforwardness
Basic and essential expressions/conventions requirements
It's quick, easy and you get access to all the articles on DevX.
