AngularJS is a JavaScript framework with key features like models, two-way binding, directives, routing, dependency injections, unit tests, etc. On the other hand, JQuery is a JavaScript library used for DOM manipulation with no two-way binding features

No, AngularJS is not dependent on jQuery. AngularJS is a JavaScript framework developed by Google for building dynamic web applications. It provides its own set of functionalities for DOM manipulation, data binding, and other common tasks, making jQuery unnecessary when working with AngularJS.

In fact, using jQuery with AngularJS is generally discouraged, as both frameworks have different approaches to handling DOM manipulation and can potentially conflict with each other. AngularJS has its own built-in directives and services to handle many tasks that would traditionally be handled by jQuery in other web development scenarios.
