jQuery JavaScript library is very popular among website developers. According to W3Techs, jQuery adoption is about 55%. It is normal for such a popular library to have many plugins available. Google is always an option when someone tries to find a plugin. Moreover, many plugin repositories or collections are available. Let’s see the most important of them.

1. The jQuery Plugin Registry

jQuery Plugin Registry launched on January 2013. It is the successor of OLD jQuery Plugins site, which was not so functional.

jQuery Plugin Registry is based on WordPress and plugins Github repositories. You can search and browse using tags to locate plugins in the new Registry. A brief description, dependencies and links to the home page, documentation, demo, issues and downloads are available for each plugin. Commenting, ratings and reviews are not yet available. You may have an idea about plugin popularity using GitHub Activity (stars, forks, watchers). Issues and feature requests are available here.
