jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions. It provides an easy-to-use API that works across multiple browsers, making it easier for developers to create dynamic web pages and web applications. jQuery's popularity stems from its ability to greatly reduce the amount of JavaScript code needed to achieve common tasks.
