The End of Our Road - Javascript Frameworks

jQuery is what is called a 'Framework'. Frameworks contain sets of pre-written controls which make it easier and more efficient for you to develop your scripts. Instead of rewriting the same basic scripts over and over, or managing your own library, javascript frameworks such as jQuery, prototype, script.aculo.us, mootools, and others exist to save you the time. In most cases, these frameworks are extended in ways that add more functionality.

Unfortunately, a complete discussion on Javascript frameworks comparing the functions included in each is a discussion for another time, but its something to know is out there.
