    Javascript is a clientside scripting language.
    jQuery is a JavaScript Library.
    jQuery reduces your code when compared to JS.
    And the effect of jQuery is also very attractive...

    jQuery is a library which is meant to ease the day-to-day use of javascript, by reducing the need to write specific code for repetitive actions, instead having all these functions and actions embedded in the library. Basically, jQuery is a javascript-framework.
