Framework Watch – BZbyte EZ Ajax

Dietrich Kappe, Saturday, September 9, 2006 @ 11:37 am

I've come across another server-side framework: BZbyte EZ Ajax. Despite the corny name, it is based on representing the document object model on the server side, and rendering any changes to it to the client.

Although it is open source, the company behind the framework looks to be trying to make money by selling the documentation. If you hope to get any sort of developer adoption, you need to make it as easy for them as possible to use your software. The copious Spring framework documentation hasn't hurt the sales of that framework's published books, for example. And with other, superior server-side frameworks already out there -- Echo2, ZK -- you really can't afford to make it harder.

You can see an example of a tree widget below. I'd have to say that has a somewhat unfinished feel to it. For example, in the tree widget not all of the images are preloaded, which is a basic optimization that they will hopefully introduce in future versions.
