Articles for deletion This article was nominated for deletion on 2006-03-07. The result of the discussion was keep.

I think this article should be deleted and an external link to DoJo wiki pages should be provided, so that community could seek the latest updated information.

Adding and maintaining information to this page will be redundant.

""" Dojo allows you to easily build dynamic capabilities into web pages and any other environment that supports JavaScript sanely. You can use the components that Dojo provides to make your web sites more useable, responsive, and functional. With Dojo you can build degradeable user interfaces more easily, prototype interactive widgets quickly, and animate transitions. You can use the lower-level APIs and compatibility layers from Dojo to write portable JavaScript and simplify complex scripts. Dojo's event system, I/O APIs, and generic language enhancement form the basis of a powerful programming environment. You can use the Dojo build tools to write command-line unit-tests for your JavaScript code. You can use the Dojo package system to make your code easier to maintain and less platform dependent. The Dojo build process helps you optimize your JavaScript for deployment by grouping sets of files together and reuse those groups through "profiles".

Dojo does all of these things by layering capabilities onto a very small core which provides the package system and little else. When you write scripts with Dojo, you can include as little or as much of the available APIs as you need to suit your needs. Dojo provides MultiplePointsOfEntry, InterpreterIndependence, ForwardLookingAPIs, and focuses on ReducingBarriersToAdoption.

Dojo is being built around a single markup language that will provide application authors with a (more) simple way of declaring and using responsive DHTML interface components. Renderings may be made available in several rendering contexts (such as SVG, or perhaps even the desktop or Flash), but the markup language (DojoML) and scripting language (JavaScript) will not change. Better yet, the DojoML parser accepts extended HTML and SVG as valid input, and can be used to easily create DegradeableResponsiveApplications.

The adoption of the Dojo Toolkit is being promoted by the Dojo Foundation. """ --Grimboy 14:42, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

I've tried to improve this page and have stubbed it out with some topics which can be expanded.--Grimboy 23:34, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

I've taken a first stab at cleaning up the article to be more suitable for Wikipedia; let's see how things go for a little while, then see about removing the cleanup tag.

Things that would be nice to add:

  • A little history of Dojo, and its relationship with Jot.
  • More information on development, and the contributions from Sun and IBM.
