jQuery can be most simply defined as a cross browser JavaScript library that is used to simplify the client side scripting of HTML. It is also the most popularly used java script library. The reason why it has become the most popular and most used java script library is that it is totally free.

One more reasons that add to its popularity are that it is dual licensed and open source software. It makes it easier to navigate or go through a document, create animations, develop Ajax applications and also handle events. Also, using JQuery Web designers have an opportunity to create a plug-in on top of the java script library. Thus using jQuery they can create really powerful and dynamic web pages. There are a lot of jQuery plugins available on the web.

Developers can also be able to create abstractions for low level interactions and animation, advanced effects and high level theme able widgets using the plugins. Developers could also add various other things like colors bar charts, bubbles, line charts and pie charts.

The most amazing part is that some jQuery plugins are compatible with most of the browsers. From a long time we have posted about development so now we come up with these Javascript library. Please have look at them and share your thoughts in our comment section below. We always love to post new and awesome articles about technology but if you want us to post something specific about technology we would love to post that so please let us know if we miss out something.

Editors

1) Code Mirror

CodeMirror is a JavaScript library that can be used to create a relatively pleasant editor interface for code-like content ― computer programs, HTML markup, and similar. If a mode has been written for the language you are editing, the code will be coloured, and the editor will optionally help you with indentation.

Video

2) Html5 media

HTML5 video and audio tags were designed to make embedding a video as easy as embedding an image. They were also designed to give users a faster experience by doing away with browser plugins such as Adobe Flash.

Map

3) Gmap

gMap is a lightweight jQuery plugin that helps you embed Google Maps into your website. With only 2 KB in size it is very flexible and highly customizable.

Charting jQuery Library

4) jsCharts

JS Charts is a JavaScript based chart generator that requires little or no coding. With JS Charts drawing charts is a simple and easy task, since you only have to use client-side scripting (i.e. performed by your web browser).

5) High Charts

Highcharts is a charting library written in pure JavaScript, offering intuitive, interactive charts to your web site or web application. Highcharts currently supports line, spline, area, areaspline, column, bar, pie and scatter chart types.

6) Google Flot

Flot is a pure Javascript plotting library for jQuery. It produces graphical plots of arbitrary datasets on-the-fly client-side. The focus is on simple usage (all settings are optional), attractive looks and interactive features like zooming and mouse tracking.

7) Timeplot

Timeplot is a DHTML-based AJAXy widget for plotting time series and overlay time-based events over them (with the same data formats that Timeline supports).

Visualization jQuery Library

8 ) Processingjs

Processing.js 1.3.6 is a maintenance release for 1.3.5. We’ve fixed a 3D mode regression, where any non-square sketch would be stretched.

9) Protovis

Protovis composes custom views of data with simple marks such as bars and dots. Unlike low-level graphics libraries that quickly become tedious for visualization, Protovis defines marks through dynamic properties that encode data, allowing inheritance, scales and layouts to simplify construction.

10) raphaeljs

Raphael is a small JavaScript library that should simplify your work with vector graphics on the web. If you want to create your own specific chart or image crop and rotate widget, for example, you can achieve it simply and easily with this library.

Security

11) Ad Safe

JavaScript, the programming language of the web browser, is not a secure language. Any script in a page has intimate access to all of the information and relationships of the page. This makes use of mashups and scripted advertising unacceptably risky.

11) Taffydb

How you ever noticed how JavaScript object literals look a lot like records? And that if you wrap a group of them up in an array you have something that looks a lot like a database table? TaffyDB is a libary to bring powerful database funtionality to that concept and rapidly improve the way you work with data inside of JavaScript.

12) Evercookie

evercookie is a javascript API available that produces extremely persistent cookies in a browser. Its goal is to identify a client even after they’ve removed standard cookies, Flash cookies (Local Shared Objects or LSOs), and others.

13) jStorage - store data locally with JavaScript

jStorage is a simple wrapper plugin for Prototype, MooTools and jQuery to cache data (string, numbers, objects, even XML nodes) on browser side. Note that functions, DOM nodes, host objects and such can not be saved.

14) Headjs

Head JS loads JavaScript files like images without blocking the page. Your page will be faster even with a single combined file.

15) Socket

Socket.IO aims to make realtime apps possible in every browser and mobile device, blurring the differences between the different transport mechanisms. It’s care-free realtime 100% in JavaScript.
