Franky Braem and his team have created wxJavaScript, a UI toolkit that started out as a port of wxWidgets:
But at this time, wxJavaScript is a lot more. wxJavaScript has an Apache module
mod_wxjs, an SQLite module, … And many
other modules are planned. So with wxJavaScript, you can write
server side scripts for generating (x)html pages, system scripts,
GUI applications, … in one of the most used programming languages: JavaScript.
wxJavaScript uses SpiderMonkey. SpiderMonkey is the
JavaScript engine of Mozilla.
E4X is activated
in wxJavaScript. E4X is a programming language extension that adds native XML support to
JavaScript.
With wxJavaScript you can write system scripts, gui applications or
dynamic webpages using JavaScript. This isn’t another Ajax library.
This release contains the following updates:
- Introduced namespaces (like used in YUI)
- + tpl (Template module) uses namespace ‘tpl’
- + Sqlite uses namespace ’sqlite’
- MySQL module introduced
- wxHtmlWindow added
- Renamed xml module into expat module
- sqlite: removed open (use ctor now), close, finalize (automatically done)
- db: removed close method (automatically done)
- renamed property isOpened to opened
- The firstline of the script can contain a shebang now (#!)
- mod_wxjs: wxJS_PreScript and wxJS_PostScript directives added
