what is GWT as compared to jquery -

is gwt same jquery framework or different.

i mean use jquery ajax things. there reason shift gwt

take @ developing google web toolkit.

quote:

the gwt sdk provides set of core java apis , widgets. these allow write ajax applications in java , compile source highly optimized javascript runs across browsers, including mobile browsers android , iphone.

constructing ajax applications in manner more productive higher level of abstraction on top of common concepts dom manipulation , xhr communication.

you aren't limited pre-canned widgets either. can browser's dom , javascript can done in gwt, including interacting hand-written javascript.

reading this, know write gwt applications in java. drastically different javascript (or jquery, matter).

how work? write code in java , gwt compiler spits out optimized javascript told when wrote java code.

jquery different, since framework/library build atop javascript , it's here make life simpler avoiding writing tedious javascript code ajax callbacks.

so, gwt, write java code gets translated javascript.

with jquery, write javascript.
