How does jQuery.get() work?
<p>I'm trying to use this: <a href="http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.get/" rel="nofollow">http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.get/</a> and I don't understand why the examples look like this:</p>

<pre><code> $.get("test.php");
</code></pre>

<p>I've never seen the syntax $.get ? Why wouldn't I do something like </p>

<pre><code>$jQuery = new JQuery();
$jQuery.get(...); 
</code></pre>
