Definition and Usage
The $.trim() function is used to remove whitespace from both ends of a string.
The $.trim() function is deprecated in jQuery 3.5 and above; you can use the native JavaScriptString.prototype.triminstead.
Note:The $.trim() function removes all newlines, spaces (including consecutive spaces), and tabs from the beginning and end of a string. If these whitespace characters are in the middle of the string, they are preserved and will not be removed.
