Hi Everyone,

I am going to start working on AJAX, i came to know many frameworks which are required in these days in market. these are

A. EXT JS
B. YUI
C. JQuery
D. Prototype
E. DOJO
F. Scriptaculous

I need to know which one is good choice to work with. I dont have time to evaluation of all these. So please let me know if you find which one is the best and have more benefits (like performance, security).


Thanks
Pawan

None of those libraries are "required". Also, scriptaculous is not an Ajax library; it's built on Protoytype which provides the Ajax API.

And, of course, you are asking a subjective questions in which you will get lots of opinions.

Here's mine: Of the libraries you listed, EXT JS and YUI seem to have more detractors than supporters. Prototype is considered a bit of a dinosaur as it has not aged well in comparison to others. Dojo and jQuery seem generally well-regarded, though you will find detractors of each. jQuery is my personal choice.

As Bear said, one guy can say he likes X and hates Y, another will say he hates Y and loves X.

You should list your requirements for what you need and see if a library matches it. And your list is only a small portion of the libraries out there.
