I was reading webix documentation, and when I read the Server Integration part, I saw that webix can use dhtmlx, that I did not know bevore. dhtmlx seems to be very complete library, what is the advantage to use Webix over dhtmlx?
Webix
- works on both Desktop and Mobile
- has much smaller js footprint ( 380k vs 1200k )
- has much faster rendering times ( check http://webix.com/tag/datatable/ for example )
- can be used with jQuery, AngularJS and Backbone
- has more coherent API
Those are major ones. There are a lot of small features in Webix components which are not possible with DHTMLX.
The only place where DHTMLX is better - support of IE6 and IE7. Webix will not work in those browsers.
As side note - Webix CAN use connectors, but not limited to them. It has first class support for REST API and few other server side integration strategies. http://docs.webix.com/desktop__serverside.html
