10 Good Alternative JavaScript-Ajax Frameworks

10 Alternative JavaScript Frameworks

Posted on : 09/04/2008 | By : Jimmy Vu | In : Solution

In modern web development, some JavaScript frameworks have made their names like Prototype, Mootools, YUI, JQuery. But if you find them not wholly suitable to your next project there are some other good frameworks out there.

Jacob Gube has given out a nice introduction of “10 alternative and capable JavaScript frameworks/libraries to explore” going over the good of them. Here they are:

Some of them provide comprehensive solutions that allow you to build a (complicated) desktop-like application with ready-made components (SproutCore, Spry, qooxdoo, UIZE), other focus on DOM selector and effects with minimal weight and, specifically, framework JavaScriptMVC presents the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern to JavaScript.

Find your own JavaScript framework (archetypejs.org)

Of course, no framework is perfect and it costs some time to get acquaintance with new one. However, you may find one is better than others for specific requirements so it’s good to have alternatives.

I’ll have more reviews on each framework with hand-on experiences and examples from time to time (hopefully).
