Open Source AJAX toolkits

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the AJAX-al-icious dept.

twofish writes "InfoWorld columnist Peter Wayner recently reviewed six of the most popular "open source" Ajax toolkits. The article sets out to see if they are enterprise ready in comparison to commercial products such Backbase, JackBe, and Tibco's General Interface. The six open source projects covered were selected because each has a high-profile in the developer community and support of one or more stable organizations. " The toolkits covered are:
  1. Dojo
  2. Google Web Toolkit
  3. Microsoft Atlas
  4. Open Rico and Prototype
  5. Yahoo AJAX Library
  6. Zimbra Kabuki AJAX Toolkit


Whilst the definition of open source is broad, the round-up is quite helpful.

  1. Useless... by CowboyBob500 · · Score: 0, Troll

    If it doesn't include DWR (probably THE most popular Java AJAX toolkit) yet includes a Microsoft offering then the article is effectively rendered useless...

  2. Dojo = crash by metamatic · · Score: 0, Troll

    If I go to the Dojo site and click the "see it in action" tab, Firefox immediately crashes. Not exactly a great demo.
