Hello,
I was just exploring on webix libraries, but I just wanted to know the cool features for scalability and performance wise, which makes Webix different from other widgets framework libraries available in the markets
The lib was designed with performance in mind, you can check articles about datatable for example.
- http://webix.com/blog/datatable-1000-columns-and-more/
- http://webix.com/blog/webix-grid-1-000-000-rows-and-more/
Other components works in similar way. As result it is quite hard to design interface which will be slow and not-responsive.
As for scalability - there are few major points
-
all components can be extended, so you can create your own reusable ui widgets
-
due to the good performance it possible to create a client side UI with hundreads of elements ( lib is clever enough to render them only they are really necessary )
-
all settings of UI and it structure itself can be changed dynamically. It is not necessary to load UI of whole app at once. It possible to extend | change it based on user’s actions.
-
integration with Angular and Backbone allows to use the best MVC frameworks for code organization.
Thanks for the reply Maksim
