• What’s jQuery?
  Created by John Resig in early 2006, jQuery is a great library for anyone who works with JavaScript code. Whether you’re new to the JavaScript language and want a library to address some of the complexities of Document Object Model (DOM) scripting and Ajax or you’re an advanced JavaScript guru and tired of the boring repetition involved with DOM scripting and Ajax, jQuery will suit you well. jQuery helps you keep your code simple and succinct. You no longer have to write a bunch of repetitious loops and DOM scripting library calls. With jQuery, you can get right to the point and express yourself in the fewest possible characters.

  The jQuery philosophy is certainly unique: It’s designed to keep things simple and reusable. When you understand and feel comfortable with the philosophy, you’ll start to see just how much jQuery can improve the way you program.

• 우선 jQuery에 대해 간단히 설명을 하자면,
  prototype.js같은 javascript framework(혹은 library)종류중 하나인데, XPath 라는 것을 지원한다.

• jQuery is a fast, concise, JavaScript Library that simplifies how you traverse HTML documents, handle events, perform animations, and add Ajax interactions to your web pages. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript.

• jQuery – New Wave Javascript : Ajax, Javascript 라이브러리들

Prototype/Scriptaculous : 우선 Rails와 통합되어 있고 널리 사용되고 있기 때문에 안정적…

jQuery : 수많은 Reference가 있으므로 안정적 / Prototype이 해주는 기능은 jQuery 모두 지원 / 많은 Plugin 지원. ..

YUI : Yahoo가 사용하고 있는 라이브러리이므로 안정성 인정. 구현되어 있는 기본적인 컴포넌트들은 꽤 좋음. 하지만 확장할 때는 시간이 좀 걸림. YUI가 1, 2와 다른 점은 나름의 DSL 이용을 최대한 자제하고 있다는 것이다….

Dojo : 너무 방대하고, 용량도 크다. 쓸만한 문서도 찾아보기 어려웠고, Dojo가 지원하는 컴포넌트들은 거의 jQuery 플러그인들도 지원….

GWT : Google…(what is?)
