Is anyone using the XUI micro-framework (http://xuijs.com/)? Is it
worth considering, considering the extremely low ceiling on cached

I haven't used it, but I've read the source code and it is definitely
worth considering.
I agree. The source looks clean and easy to understand. I still have
some studying to do, of course, but it would seem to be easy to work with.
It comes in at just under 8k, whereas jQuery
1.3.2 tips the scales at almost 56k. There's nothing at all wrong with
jQuery, of course. But if the cache limit is still 25k in iPhone OS
3.X (is it?) it would seem to make sense to try to come in under that
limit.
Cache limit, it's still nice for a site/app to come up quickly the first
time even when running on a slow cellular connection.
Yes, that too. :) I thought of that after I posted.
There's not a lot of mention of XUI in this group. Does that mean
everyone is sticking with iUI or jQuery/jQTouch?
There has been some talk of modifying iUI to use XUI as a base
framework. But nothing more than talk. It's something I'd be
interested in seeing if anyone wants to give it a try.
And that would be called iUI-XUI? :) I haven't studied the source of iUI
yet (my apologies), but on a quick glance it looks like it currently
handles everything itself with no dependencies. What would be the
advantage of putting iUI on top of XUI? Code simplification? I'm just
curious.
After having glanced at iui-0.40-dev2, I believe I'll take a closer
look. I'm thinking all I might need is iUI. My first foray into using
XUI alone had me doing things a little too low-level. jQuery/jQTouch was
nice too, but the files are too big for the cache.
Thanks for the feedback!
