i have been using Extjs (not core)extensively within last two years. I have been looking at jquery recently and I am disappointed that I can’t find the Extjs Layout Managers in jquery. Yeah, there is a plugin, but forget about embedding any widgets inside..(tons of problems). That’s like 1,2,3 in extjs. And Extjs widgets are beautiful. I thought to myself, yeah i can use jquery with Extjs, but what for. There is nothing missing in Extjs that would make me go over to jquery.

I’ve yet to see any ExtJS implementation that looks beautiful. It’s dry and boring. jQuery, on the other hand, has lent itself to hundreds of visually gorgeous implementations. Art matters.

I am a big jQuery fan. But I am very impressed with the Ext grids and Ext DOM manipulation.

I have use a lot of library out there, this including prototype/scriptaculous, jquery, extjs, yui, dojo, mootools, etc..
JQuery dom manipulation is very straighforward and simple so it’s for me better than ExtJS. JQuery can do OOP but it’s seem like more like a feature than a base concept.

ExtJS is OOP base and take inspiration from YUI and Java. So the OOP concept is far stronger than JQuery (guys who know WWT/Swing will almost seem to be at home).

So in the end, the use of jquery or extjs will be influenced by the need of your project.

Personnaly, I often use ExtJS (not core) and JQuery as adapter as I can combine simplicity and strong oop, organized widget of extjs and simple standalone widget from jquery strong plugin architecture !

I’m a Microsoft guy and I totally love ExtJS Core and Full ExtJS. I don’t know Jquery so can’t really comment on that but I love the consistency of ExtJS through their entire stack (right down do the core)

I asked the Ext team about Sizzle at the Ext Conference this past week in Florida. For what it is worth, they said they didn’t use Sizzle because it is too large and too slow. I’ll have to fish around for some benchmarks to see how they really compare.

I think this article is little biased towards JQUery. I use ExtJS and JQuery both. But this article is about ExtJs core and Jquery so lets talk about that.

1) Documentation -> Author said that ExtJS core documentation is far much better than JQuery. This is something I heavily and strongly disagree upon. Jquery documentation have both explanation with an example which ExtJS don’t have. Just having fancy widget does not make it more informational…

2) DOM Selector -> I think Jquery DOM manipulation is equally as powerful as ExtCore. May be you don’t know that JQuery selector is faster than ExtCore. Checkout for Sizzle

3) Simplicity -> I think Jquery is much easier to learn than ExtJS. However that does not mean that learning ExtJS is tough.

Conclusion -> If you use ExtJS then use ExtCore since it is more suitable I think. As you don’t have to learn two framework. If not then you can use JQuery. Jquery is also more stable than ExtCore even though it not like comparing Apple and Apple since ExtCore is still in Beta.

[...] Outside the Box() » Ext Core vs. JQuery – Both Ext Core and JQuery are solid, complete base JavaScript libraries. JQuery leans towards simplicity while Ext Core offers enhanced configuration. The choice of which to use will come down to where you are now. [...]
