# Jerry
**Jerry** is a [jQuery](http://jquery.com/) in Java - fast and focused Java library that simplifies parsing, traversing and manipulating the HTML content, using the same methods and syntax as the jQuery.
Look, it's really cool:
```java
Jerry doc = Jerry.of("Hello Jerry
");
doc.s("div#jodd b").css("color", "red").addClass("ohmy");
```
The (formatted) output will be:
```markup
Hello Jerry
```
I tried to keep **Jerry** API identical to the jQuery as much as possible. In some cases, you can simply copy some jQuery code and paste it in Java - and it will work! Of course, there are some differences due to the different nature of the platforms.
{% hint style="warning" %}
The well-known jQuery method `$()` is renamed to`s()` in **Jerry**. The reason is compatibility with different JVMs: GraalVM, for example, does not allow usage of `$` in method names.
{% endhint %}
If you don't like the `s()` method, use the `find()` alternative.
