ExtJS
The driving force behind Ext JS is Jack Slocum, who is a respected JavaScript developer. The Ext JS project sprouted from a desire to extend functionality offered by the Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) Library.
A key aspect of the YUI Library is the cross-browser support, which you’ll also find in Ext JS. This allows you to build Web applications without worrying about the target browser.
Ext JS boasts excellent performance. The framework is fully object-oriented and extensible. Along with its excellent presentation, Ext JS’ features are ready to use once you download and install it.
Features
Ext JS includes various controls such as a message box, combo box, data grid and toolbars. In addition, layout managers allow you to specify how elements are presented on a page. More features are available for working with forms and windows. Adobe has introduced a new platform, AIR, for deploying HTML/JavaScript applications to the desktop. One of their feature applications is Fresh, an RSS feed reader built with Ext.
Mike Chambers, Senior Product Manager at Adobe says: “Basically, if you want to build Apollo applications using HTML / JavaScript, then this is the library you should start with. Not only does it provide lower level JavaScript functionality, it also provides a complete UI component toolkit, and effect library.”.
