JS Framework...

[nickW+]

Hello Again,

Currently i'm running Prototype and I know that jQuery is the
framework of choice so i'm going to move to it. However I have
discovered the Google WebKit and seems like it's gaining a lot of
popularity.

Which of the two would you suggest?

I'm mainly looking for QUICK load times.

Thanks, Nick

Is jQuery not loading fast enough? Have you benchmarked the various libraries to see which load fastest?

Have not tried either. Was looking for a suggestion as to which one to
try, since currently i'm running Prototype.

Basically all I want is a lightbox capable of showing HTML, modal
boxes (for error messages, alerts, basic options menu and login box)
and last but not least AJAX calls. The rest of the junk that comes
with these Frameworks I don't care about.

Anyone here can speak to Yahoo's YUI? It tracks GWT pretty well per
the framework comparison at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_JavaScript_frameworks
.

A very preliminary look says a professional job. Any experience here?

Personally I've never been a fan of UI. Seems entirely too bloated and loosely coupled for my liking. But that is just me. Yes, loose coupling is a good thing. But the way YUI does it, as least as of the last time I checked, made it very difficult to use.

A cool tool I came across for anyone interested:

In typical nerd fashion, I had to run that test in all my browsers. Damn, there is some massive difference between browsers and platforms. Linux got its ass kicked badly in both Chrome and Firefox. I didn't try Opera on Linux because it has hated me recently.

Chrome on Windows is by far the fastest loading browser/platform combination so far.

Dojo wins on Chrome on Windows xp. (the total was 103 ms) but the most test are won by PureDom*
