Difference among DWR,jQuery,JSON and DOJO

[Fidel Edwards]

Hi,

i m new to ajax .I want to know that which is better among DWR,jQuery,JSON and DOJO and why ??

Can we update our ui using any of them as we do simply in ajax ??

Please help me ......

I think you need to do some research what those things really are.

JSON is JavaScript Object Notation

JQuery and Dojo are JavaScript libraries/toolkits

DWR is a toolkit that is built more for the Java Framework.

Read about them and find out what they have to offer you. When you get some more background you can ask some more questions about them since you question now is way to broad.

well ,
I know it .I digged lots of sites and worked on atleast one exapmle of all of them (including jMaki as well).
But............
still i m striving and crawling

Please help me so i can make solid start from any better than other !!

All the ones you listed are really quite different. As Eric mentioned, JSON isn't even an AJAX library. Most libraries fill different niche's. For example, JQuery and Prototype I would consider competing libraries where as YUI and MooTools are competing libraries.

I'm not sure where DWR falls into the mix but you also have DOJO, GWT, Scriptaculous (which requires Prototype), ZK, Backbase, and many more. A better question from you might be to tell us what you are trying to achieve and then we can help you decide what might work best. But a general "which is better" question can not be answered.

Hello Sir,

Currently i am working on Dashboard in this it is require to update charts or graphs after some time .I have to use ajax but i m really confuse among them .Which is better and why for this purpose ??

thanking you in advance !!

[Bear Bibeault]

Without any information about how you are doing your charting, or on how you plan to use Ajax to update them, it's impossible to say.

Thank you !! That you entertain my question !In fact ,i have to create some graphs for a product which depicts the statistics on weekly or daily basis .It is also required that whenever these graphs should be updated in 3 seconds So that our client should be able to check them at any moment.

Moreover ,thses graphs should be in java and will fetch the information from database and reflect this information in the graphical format .So, i am looking for any library for that.
