Dojo and Zimbra are others. Tibco just open sourced their toolkit. If you aren't building "thick" clients on the web but just want async calls then I would recommend mochikit (very simple and extremely well documented/tested).
I've used Dojo and Mochikit. Like I said mochi is lightweight, and if you just want dynamic updates that's the way I'd go. Dojo is sort of bleeding edge, smart people behind it, apache adoption, a steeper learning curve, bigger download, etc. But they are really pushing the envelope, having tools for js packaging, linting, obfuscations/shrinking. Just the other day they announced an offline tool that will allow web apps to work disconnectedly. (Not sure any other open source ajax has that yet). Neither of these are tied to server side languages, as long as it can speak JSON you should be fine. Here's a blog entry from some of my "research" a year and a half a go: http://panela.blog-city.com/ajax_explosion.htm Creators of Dojo and Mochi commented there. Good luck (note that this is sort of asking like should I use emacs or vi....) -matt On 1/5/07, Jesse Stay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
You might also want to consider the yui framework by Yahoo. I personally enjoy that one, but I haven't done much with Laslo, Flex, or GWT so I can't compare.
