QooxDoo 1.3 - the next release of the JS framework
Last week came another release of QooxDoo. The main objective of the framework is to provide the ability to design multi-functional cross-browser web applications. At the same time, as stated on qooxdoo.org , knowledge of HTML, CSS, DOM is not required. I personally didn’t mention any major innovations in the new release. Although, of course, there are some useful buns, such as the Tri-state CheckBox. In general, the library is very functional, well thought out, implemented and documented. For those who hears about her for the first time - I will note a few points.
GUI simulation
A large number of both typical and specific controls (see below)
An elaborate system of events, both typical (events, mice, keyboards) and specific to certain elements and widgets (highlighting a row in a table, changing the data model)
DataBinding - binding a data model to a control
Visual themes
Drag & drop interface
Transport level
Possible to work at a low level (direct AJAX) and through RPC
The proposed implementation of RPC-servers in Java, PHP, Python, Perl
