Re: Prototype AND extJS?

2009-02-03 Thread Martin Westin


I have only had a shallow look at ExtJS but as I see it:
Prototype is a javascript framework with ajax
ExtJS is an Ajax and GUI framework built in javascript

That is: Prototype is used to put some nice ajax on your web-app and
ExtJS is something you build your app in from the start. Using ExtJS
you have to flip your mind around 180° and build an app more like a
desktop app than a web-page. Am I making sense?

 Your best bet is to use one or the other. If you use extjs, create
 your own helper for it.

ExtJs uses the concept of foundation libraries to provide things like
DOM manipulation, event handling, animation etc.

Its class hierarchy is built on a foundation-agnostic adapter layer.

You can use either ext-base as the foundation (A pure extJS foundation
library), or Prototype, or jQuery, or YUI. Using the correct adapter
layer means it will play nicely with any of them.
