Java script framework comparison

‘EXT’ is a very rich javascript framework. There is lots of components
like Grid, Tree, Tab, dialogbox, Debug consol, toolbar, menu etc.It is
based on YUI[1], JQuery[2], Prototype[3] & Script.aculo.us[4] framework.
Ext framework is included those frameworks. So, when you will work by this
framework,can get access other framework’s advantages. Ext has also its
own library in ext.js which is added in 2.0 . So here you are getting a
huge library to work.

But the problem is onloading time, it will take loooong time to load a
page.On the other hand, if you use Mootools[5], it is super lightweight.
A lot of components also in here but not like EXT. It is tremendous
fast. The mechanism of Moo is, there has individual package for each
components. There is no too much dependency to another packages. So you
can include those packages in a page what you needed, no need to load
another.

JQuery also a very good framework.It is easiest one and it has very good
documentations.The main difference between JQuery and mootools/prototype
is DOM travers . JQuery make it very simple , just give the id of an
element and get the object. On the otherhand Moo do it by making
classes. JQuery also work fine on AJAX. JQuery is simple and easy to
remember. I think, JQuery and Moo both are good. JQuery is good for
simple small projects and Moo is for complicated projects where object
oriented programming really helps.
