How to get a new version for jQuery?

Hi,

I have the tag below for jQuery.

</script>

I just wonder, if I want to get a newer version, if any, where would I go?

Hi,

Thank you very much for your reply.

jQuery Core 3.4.1 has 4 options: uncompressed, minified, slim, slim minified.

Where does the difference come from?

Uncompressed is the readable format for jQuery with spaces and line breaks, making it a lot easier for you to read and get a better understanding of the framework.

Minified has spaces and line breaks removed making the file smaller in size and faster to load. Just to point out as well, you are better using the minified version (.min) for your live environment as Google are now checking on page loading times. Having all your JS file minified means they will load faster and will score you more brownie points.

In an endeavour to make the jQuery library smaller, in jquery.slim.js, the following features are removed:

jQuery.fn.extend
jquery.fn.load
jquery.each // Attach a bunch of functions for handling common AJAX events
jQuery.expr.filters.animated
ajax settings like jQuery.ajaxSettings.xhr, jQuery.ajaxPrefilter, jQuery.ajaxSetup, jQuery.ajaxPrefilter, jQuery.ajaxTransport, jQuery.ajaxSetup
xml parsing like jQuery.parseXML,

7. animation effects like jQuery.easing, jQuery.Animation, jQuery.speed

Sometimes a widget will use one or more of the removed fetures in which case you will need to load the full version.
