Tooltips are small, contextual pop-up windows that appear when users hover over an item or element on a web page.

Many JQuery Tooltip Libraries are available, each with its features and functionality. These libraries allow developers to easily create tooltips with various styles, sizes, and animations. These libraries come with pre-built styles and animations, which can be easily customized to match the look and feel of the application. Additionally, they often include built-in accessibility features, such as support for screen readers and keyboard navigation. One of the key advantages of using a JQuery Tooltip Library is that it saves developers time and effort in building tooltips from scratch.
