I am a regular reader of BBC(British Broadcasting Corporation) Online. The present BBC Online was given a face-lift in year 2007. It is a Web 2.0, especially on its' homepage, it is full with AJAX feature.
Initially, BBC was using JQuery(Another JavaScript framework) to spruce up BBC Online interface. But later BBC had decided to develop their own JavaScript Framework. The rationale behind is, BBC wants BBC website to support older version web-browsers.
BBC Glow offers:
- Simplified DOM manipulation and event handling
- Custom user interface widgets, such as sliders and overlay boxes
- Animation and effects
- Useful cross-browser JavaScript functions
Overall, I like Glow. It’s well documented, has been extensively tested, and is possibly a little easier to understand than jQuery.
