javascript - 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 smaller size?

Is this something someone should consider using? (There are a lot of min versions out there.)

Answer 1

The functionality is exactly the same - just open the minified and the "normal" versions in a text editor and you'll see the difference.

The min-Versions are just there to provide reduced filesize, to save you bandwith and traffic ;-)
