title: jQuery Version Download
body: <p>I was wondering which download I need of jQuery: <a href="https://jquery.com/download/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://jquery.com/download/</a>, because I'd like to start making <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29877747/ideas-for-making-my-website-interactive">interactive websites</a>.</p>
  
  <p>On the download website there IS an explanation of all sorts of jQueries, but I don't understand anything of it. :D</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Downloading jQuery</p>
    
    <p>Compressed and uncompressed copies of jQuery files are available. The
    uncompressed file is best used during development or debugging; the
    compressed file saves bandwidth and improves performance in
    production. You can also download a sourcemap file for use when
    debugging with a compressed file. The map file is not required for
    users to run jQuery, it just improves the developer's debugger
    experience. As of jQuery 1.11.0/2.1.0 the //# sourceMappingURL comment
    is not included in the compressed file.</p>
    
    <p>To locally download these files, right-click the link and select "Save
    as..." from the menu. link jQuery 1.x</p>
    
    <p>The jQuery 1.x line had major changes as of jQuery 1.9.0. We strongly
    recommend that you also use the jQuery Migrate plugin if you are
    upgrading from pre-1.9 versions of jQuery or need to use plugins that
    haven't yet been updated. Read the jQuery 1.9 Upgrade Guide and the
    jQuery 1.9 release blog post for more information.</p>
    
    <p>Download the compressed, production jQuery 1.11.2</p>
    
    <p>Download the uncompressed, development jQuery 1.11.2</p>
    
    <p>Download the map file for jQuery 1.11.2</p>
    
    <p>jQuery 1.11.2 release notes link jQuery 2.x</p>
    
    <p>jQuery 2.x has the same API as jQuery 1.x, but does not support
    Internet Explorer 6, 7, or 8. All the notes in the jQuery 1.9 Upgrade
    Guide apply here as well. Since IE 8 is still relatively common, we
    recommend using the 1.x version unless you are certain no IE 6/7/8
    users are visiting the site. Please read the 2.0 release notes
    carefully.</p>
