This is the best unbaised blog about Jquery n Ext Js , i have seen so far. I would be happy if you include yui3 also comparing with the above two. So that people will get overall comparison of all the best frameworks on the web.

There are more when you consider which of the libraries to use than coding. Speed is also a factor. Availability of plugins and legal things matter, too.

Personally I would pick jQuery any day over ExtJS. ExtJS Core might be free but once you need to do more, you’ll have to shell out money and accept a restrictive license for the full ExtJS.

Thanks, but no thanks.

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.
