jquery-min version?

Question

I noticed that there is always a \"min\" version (stands for mini?) for most JavaScript libraries (e.g., jQuery).

What is the difference? Less functionality but smal

Answer 1

This is a version of jQuery that has a smaller file size (minified). Same functions, just a smaller file that the browser has to download.

Answer 2

same functions...smaller size. Think of it as poor mans compression. They simply remove all unneccessary whitespace.
