The AJAX Client-side Toolkit

DynarchLIB is a young but powerful JavaScript toolkit providing an infrastructure for creating rich Web-based applications. Features:

  • Consistent object and event systems.

  • Convenient extensions to the JavaScript core objects.

  • Rich set of widgets: buttons, menus, calendar, tree, color picker, popups, tooltips, dialogs, layout managers, HTML editor, and more.

  • Browser — Server communication utilities.

  • AES encryption framework.

  • The “look” is conveniently controlled through CSS.

  • Small yet self-contained — DynarchLIB doesn't require third party libraries.

Demo!

The most comprehensive public application based on DynarchLIB is our online chess game.

License

DynarchLIB is free software, distributed under a BSD-style license.

» DynarchLIB 2.0

This release contains significant fixes and performance improvements over the previous version, but the main purpose is to mark the transition from a closed product to an open source one. DynarchLIB is now free software under the terms of the BSD license.

There has been little interest into it (by “little” I mean it's a lot less popular than, say, ExtJS, which I think it's the main competitor).  In any case, little interest created a vicious circle—I wasn't motivated to push out frequent releases, and this aggravated the idea that the project is “dead”, resulting in even fewer potential users.

I hope that, by making it totally free, this will change.  It's by all means a great toolkit, and I did improve it constantly as there already are a few fairly big applications powered by DynarchLIB.  My latest project based on DynarchLIB is Ymacs — www.ymacs.org — probably the best AJAX editor, as a DynarchLIB widget.

Enjoy and please send some feedback. ;-)

» Email application powered by DynarchLIB

I released a new webmail application that I've been working on lately: www.xuheki.com — it is a fully featured IMAP client that works in a browser.  Xuheki itself is free under the GNU GPL v3 and it's powered by DynarchLIB (but it also has quite some requirements on the server side).

Xuheki uses an updated version of DynarchLIB which isn't yet present here.  I will publish it in the next few days, although documentation still lags behind...

» DynarchLIB 1.0

What a beautiful Saturday!  Other than the lovely weather in Romania, I'm finally releasing a product that I've been working on for years.  DynarchLIB is a complete JavaScript toolkit, essential in the development of Web-based applications.

See some demos, download it and let us know how it feels! :-)
