jQuery is the more common of the two in our index: it runs on 31,392 websites against 25 for JsObservable, and 25 sites use both. Counts come from real scans, not vendor claims.
jQuery is a JavaScript library which is a free, open-source software designed to simplify HTML DOM tree traversal and manipulation, as well as event handling, CSS animation, and Ajax.
JsObservable is integrated with JsViews and facilitates observable data manipulations that are immediately reflected in the data-bound templates. The library is developed and maintained by Microsoft employee Boris Moore and is used in projects such as Outlook.com and Windows Azure.
25 sites run both jQuery and JsObservable. That is 100% of the sites using JsObservable, the smaller of the two.
