RIALTO - An OpenSource Rich Internet Ajax Toolkit
Rialto is a cross browser javascript widgets library. Because it is technology agnostic it can be encapsulated in JSP, JSF, .Net or PHP graphic components. Nowadays it supports pure javascript development and JSP/taglib development. A JSF integration is on the road. And we hope to start .Net and PHP integration soon.
The purpose of Rialto is to ease the access to rich internet application development to corporate developers. Ideally a Rialto developer have neither need to write or understand DHTML, Ajax or DOM code.
The target of Rialto is corporate web applications and not internet web sites.
Released under Apache licence, Rialto demos deserve in facts to be integrated in corporate web applications. The 1 minute demo show different great features of RIALTO such the Splitter, AJAX tabs, Tree View, Grid, Forms, Popup and frames ... You can see also the work in progress in PHP and JSF in their SVN Server.
Rialto in the beginning was created as a Javascript library to develop web applications for hospitals, then is currently ported to be an Open source project. The work is in progress but the the current status of the project is really promising. Notice that you'll find documentation in code all written in french, but an english documentation is available on site.
