ThinWire

Features

Edit

• Familiar event-driven GUI programming model
• Reconnects the flow of logic, no request / response
• Maintains state naturally via variables, not via session
• Develop exclusively in a server-side language only
• Rich set of complex widget components: GridBox, DropDownGridBox, Tree, TabFolder, Menu, Real-Time Edit Masking, etc.
• Full keyboard navigation supported by all components!
• Zero footprint client, no applets, activeX controls or browser plug-ins of any kind!
• ThinWire is fast! The entire client-side part of the framework downloads once (just over 100K) and no further HTML, CSS or JS files are downloaded after that. The same client-side framework is used no matter how complex the application is that you build!
• Highly secure because no application logic executes in the browser and no service end-points are used like with other Ajax approaches. Only data you make visible through a component is sent over the wire, everything else stays on the server.
• All major browsers supported: Firefox 1 or greater, Opera 8 or greater, Safari 2 or greater, IE6 or greater
