Dojo

Developed and supported by the biggest companies on the Web, Dojo is one of the most complete and professional DHTML toolkits around.

Dojo (formerly known as The Dojo Toolkit) is made up from many different parts.

There's a module that handles all mobile development, one for desktop applications, a module called "Nano" which is a slimmed-down version of the framework, a section that deals with charts and graphics, one for tools, and a part that deals with third-party integrations.

Developers can use all of them, or just the ones relevant for their project.

Dojo can currently be used with client-side (browsers) and server-side (Node.js) environments.

Features:

• AMD module loading

• Animations
• Language helpers
• Behaviors
• Ajax I/O
• Cross-browser tested
• Cross-platform support
• Mobile and tablet ready
• Prepared for CSS 3 and HTML 5
• Lots of widgets

What is new in this release:

• Added a cross-browser approach for getting textContent in dojo/dom-prop.
• Added dojo/on/debounce and dojo/on/throttle.
• Added arraybuffer, blob, and document` response types where natively supported.
• Added progress events for chunked encoding.
• Added reusable HTML escape() function to dojo/string.
• Added a configuration setting for a custom cache busting URL.
• New ConfirmDialog class that extends dijit/Dialog by automatically adding OK and Cancel buttons.
• New ConfirmTooltipDialog class that extends dijit/TooltipDialog by automatically adding OK and Cancel buttons.
• Added support for Dialog.resize(dimensions). Previously it ignored the dimensions parameter. This means that dijit/Dialog now works with dojox/layout/ResizeHandle. Note though that you still cannot specify an initial size on the dialog.
• Made Dialog.show() and Dialog.hide() return a Promise even if the Dialog is already opened/closed (respectively).
