Five AJAX Frameworks Reviewed

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the buzzwordtaculous dept.

prostoalex writes "Dr. Dobb's Journal reviews 5 AJAX frameworks: Dojo 0.3.1, Prototype and Scriptaculous 1.4, Direct Web Reporting 1.0, Yahoo! User Interface Library 0.11.1 and Google Web Toolkit 1.0. Each framework was tested in two basic scenarios — writing a 'hub' (titled collapsible link list frequently seen on sidebars of many Web sites) and a 'tab panel' (horizontal tabbed navigation bar). During the process, Dr. Dobb's Journal reviewers noted that 'Dojo provides more features and HTML widgets than YUI and Prototype' but eventually 'settled on the Yahoo! User Interface Library.'"

    I'm Alex Russell, Project Lead for Dojo,

    We're obviously flattered that our little project got covered in DDJ, couldn't they have reviewed newer versions of the tools they covered?
