Why Another Framework? Ours Plays Nicely With Others
We are often asked why created the BetaJS framework, given all the frameworks out there.
It's not as though we didn't look or try to use another framework.
Here are some of the frameworks we looked at (and where BetaJS fits in):
You see the problem with other frameworks is they don't play nicely with others. That is, we found other frameworks placed restrictions we didn't want. The entire purpose behind our tools is they are as flexible as possible. So using other restrictive frameworks defeats that purpose.
Our own framework, BetaJS, is as flexible as possible:
- No outside dependencies (currently: jQuery but will eliminate in future release)
- Play nicely with other frameworks
- Loosely coupled and modularized
- Allow multiple versions to be present at the same time
- Don’t impose page/code structure
- Layered customizability
- Minimal footprint
And the best part? We've open-sourced it so you can now use it as well.
