Are jQuery and GWT comparable frameworks? -
at work there's bit of discussion around client side framework should use our front end web applications. it's showdown between gwt , jquery , i'm kind of on fence leaning towards jquery.
from can tell, gwt , jquery trying solve different problems compared each other because both end existing in web applications space.
i suspect if case, comparing 2 may fruitless i'm trying head around if comparing jquery gwt apples apples comparison in same way jquery , extjs can compared, or more beneficial our team ask questions of our application , use answers determine framework better fit us?
in addition craig mentions, there another, hardly-ever-discussed reason. building web-site or web-app?
a website traditional way of doing things. user clicks on link, browser goes server , downloads new html. @ times, put in ajax calls populate lists or save data, of times transition 1 page happens on server side.
a web-app different. think gmail, google calendar, google docs. there 1 html page in system. once downloads, transition 1 view done on client side. clicking on link not load fresh html, javascript method call (which may or may not go server).
gwt suited building complex web-apps. if try build website gwt, going frustrated technology. jquery more suited web-sites, want jazzy stuff on page, @ point want go server , download fresh content.
you more productive if make choice based on end goal - website or webapp, rather deciding on path - java v/s javascript.
