[jQuery] A question About jQuery


Hi,
I am doing a master thesis about Javascript ajax frameworks, and I
have a question about jQuery framework, and need your answer please.
As I read, jQuery is not a new creation, but it is a new
implementation of existing frameworks like Prototype and Moo.fx. is
that true? if yes, Prototype alone is about 127 KB in size, so , How
is jQuery only 118 KB? or it does not include everything from
Prototype (In addition to Moo.fx).
I hope you have time to answer my questions.
Thanks alot,
Greetings,
