Re: Rialto Browser UI framework

From just a cursory look, I'm fairly impressed with it. The JavaScript library appears to be a bit smaller than ExtJS, and required less time to download. My favorite widget is their splitters - they are intuitive, attractive, and perform much better than others that I've seen. And after having written my own, I appreciate the excellent job they did.

I also like the methods exposed in the Grid objects for adding, replacing, and removing rows - individually. Or loading the entire Grid from JSON formatted arrays. I prefer that over "binding" a Grid to a "data source" object.

Hi all,

I am looking for alternatives to ExtJS, because of the licensing
complications, and have found Rialto:
http://rialto.improve-technologies.com/wiki/

Rialto is released under the Apache license:
http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html

It has an approach similar to ExtJS in that you configure ui widgets and add
them to a form or grid or etc.

One issue I see is that it isn't as popular as I'd hoped (see the support
link and look at the amount of emails on the Yahoo forum)

Thoughts?
