If you like to make ui widgets to knock your users out then jQuery is where it is. A host of tools come with the basic library but jQuery UI delivers the sort of capability you need to delight your users.

Glad someone mentioned JQuery. Say what you will, but the flexibility of JQuery and the community behind it makes this one of the strongest, compatible and more stable JS frameworks to-date.

This might be pedantic but I wouldn't consider jQuery a framework at all.

For the OP: Most of the frameworks out there have different advantages/disadvantages. Some are relatively easy to just dip part of a project into, while some will completely take over how you structure your project. I would continue learning JS until you really know you could benefit from a framework and why. Don't fall into the trap of looking for the 'best' framework, because there is not one.

jQuery is a tool (not framework) to manipulate and control DOM elements.
