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.'"

    Curious. With javascript hijacking attacks just discovered a few weeks ago, security was not a consideration in the evaluation at all.

    I'm a bit disappointed.

    MS's toolkit has been great - FF & Safari support is a breeze in most instances, allowing us to develop our applications really quickly

    Having downloaded and hacking a few quick demos with the silverlight BETA API, I am looking forward to integrating the CLR in our future releases
