jquery: Choosing a document.ready method

Question

I\'m new to jquery. I\'ve just read that these 2 are equivalent:

$(document).ready(function() {});

$(function() {});

Which one

Answer 1

Feel free to use either one of them. Just as you think, the latter version is a shorthand for $(document).ready().

The first option was available since the beginning of jQuery releases as oppose to the second option.

Personally I prefer the second version for it is shorter.

Answer 2

All three of the following syntaxes are equivalent:

$(document).ready(handler);

$().ready(handler); //(this is not recommended)

$(handler);
