jQuery is a fast and feature-rich JavaScript library primarily used for DOM manipulation and event handling. It simplifies tasks such as HTML document traversal and manipulation, event handling, and animation, making it ideal for enhancing user interfaces in web applications. However, it may not be necessary for projects that can leverage modern browser capabilities or prefer smaller libraries for specific tasks.
