It is a multipurpose framework that includes support for -professional JavaScript development, a state-of-the-art GUI toolkit and -high-level client-server communication. - - -License - -qooxdoo may be used under the terms of either the GNU Lesser General Public -License (LGPL) or the Eclipse Public License (EPL). As a recipient of qooxdoo, -you may choose which license to receive the code under. - -Please make sure you understand the dual license of qooxdoo and the rights and -obligations that come with it. See the top-level LICENSE file for more details. - - -Framework - -qooxdoo is entirely class-based and tries to leverage the features of -object-oriented JavaScript. It is fully based on namespaces and does not -modify or extend native JavaScript types. Most modern browsers are -supported (e.g. Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera; Safari soon) and it -is free of memory leaks. It comes with a comprehensive API reference, that -is auto-generated from Javadoc-like comments and from the syntax tree -representing the code. The fast and complete JavaScript parser not only -allows for doc generation, but is an integral part of the automatic build -process that makes optimizing, compressing, linking and deployment of -custom applications very user-friendly. - - -GUI Toolkit - -Despite being a pure JavaScript framework, qooxdoo is quite on par with -GUI toolkits like Qt or SWT when it comes to advanced yet easy to implement -user interfaces. It offers a full-blown set of widgets that are hardly -distinguishable from elements of native desktop applications. Full built-in -support for keyboard navigation, focus and tab handling and drag & drop is -provided. Dimensions can be specified as static, auto-sizing, stretching, -percentage, weighted flex or min/max or even as combinations of those. -All widgets are based on powerful and flexible layout managers which are a -key to many of the advanced layout capabilities. Interface description is -done programmatically in JavaScript for maximum performance. - -No HTML has to be used and augmented to define the interface. The qooxdoo -user does not even have to know CSS to style the interface. Clean and -easy-to-configure themes for appearance, colors or icons allow for a -full-fledged styling that even supports runtime switching. - - -AJAX - -While being a client-side and server-agnostic solution, the qooxdoo project -does include complete implementations of RPC servers (currently Java and PHP) -to demonstrate some of its advanced client-server communcation. An abstract -transport layer supports queues, timeouts and implementations via -XMLHttpRequest, Iframes and Scripts. Like the rest of qooxdoo it fully -supports event-based programming which greatly simplifies asynchronous -communication. - - -Learn more - -For further information about qooxdoo, please point your browser to -http://qooxdoo.org/about - -For a step-by-step introduction to qooxdoo application development, please -see the instructions in the user manual at -http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/user_manual - -Have fun! ;-) |
