Guest Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 Message from: "Jason Reid" If they were going to consider any other widget set I would have thought QooxDoo would be the best candidate. But the ExtJS licencing isn't too expensive.

CastleSoft Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 QooxDoo looks like a nice framework... As per other comments... Maybe jQuery isn't ready yet for full GUI work ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastleSoft Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Yes.. Pricing is ok for commercial projects. But some smaller developers might like a cheaper option ? From a brief read.. It would appear that 'QooxDoo' or 'Dojo' seemed to be similar in features (according to the Wikipedia matrix -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_JavaScript_frameworks ) It would also allow you to bundle without requiring a hookup with extjs..! Just a thought... Andrew I agree that ExtJS license price is a non--issue for commercial projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Farshad Mohajeri Posted May 2, 2011 Administrators Share Posted May 2, 2011 Qooxdoo looks interesting. I'll keep an eye on it. The problem with such frameworks is that when they get enough attention they switch to commercial licenses. Same thing happened with Ext JS. Yes.. Pricing is ok for commercial projects.

JasonReid Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Looks good. These says there are lots of choices for client side libraries. Since we're talking about this sort of thing, I'm wondering why no-one has mentioned DOJO, it has a pretty comprehensive widget set and is free. Dojo widgets Having said that, I know that its ExtJS's documentation that allows Extpascal/Unigui to do its magic so it would probably be quite difficult to wrap *any* of the Javascript libraries without this head-start.

To be realistic switching from Ext JS to anything else is something that we may consider only in a far future. In foreseeable future Ext JS is our friend.
