Ajax Frameworks
Ajax Frameworks
The spectrum of tools for creating Ajax web applications is wide – from simple multi-purpose JavaScript libraries (Prototype) to client-side widget sets (Dojo, Yahoo! UI), to full client-side presentation machine (TIBCO GI), server-side framework integrated libraries (Wicket) and complete server-side-driven UI toolkits (GWT, Echo2, ThinWire)
Executive Summary
The spectrum of tools for creating Ajax web applications is wide – from simple multi-purpose JavaScript libraries (Prototype) to client-side widget sets (Dojo, Yahoo! UI), to full client-side presentation machine (TIBCO GI), server-side framework integrated libraries (Wicket) and complete server-side-driven UI toolkits (GWT, Echo2, ThinWire).
Luxoft’s Ajax Frameworks report looks into various Ajax frameworks, with a particular focus on the two: the Direct Web Remoting (DWR) framework that covers transparent client-server communication, and easily integrates with various client-side and server-side frameworks, and TIBCO General Interface that concentrates on the client-side application implementation and consumption of server-side web services and web applications.
