What are the differences between using jQuery for mobile apps versus traditional websites in PHP development?

When developing mobile apps, using jQuery for mobile apps allows for a more responsive and interactive user experience compared to traditional websites. jQuery Mobile provides a set of touch-friendly UI widgets and a lightweight framework for building mobile web applications. This makes it easier to create mobile-friendly interfaces and optimize performance for mobile devices.
