Should I use Smart UI?

[JwhitbreadParticipant]

Hello,

My company has been using Jqwidgets for a while and I’m trying to decipher the difference between it and Smart UI. Is the core difference that Smart UI works better with more modern browsers? What reasons would I have to swap to Smart UI?

Thanks,
Jamie.

Hi,

COMPARISON:

jQWidgets and Smart UI are two different products built by our company. jQWidgets is our first product. Smart UI is our new product. Below you can find a comparison.

SMART UI VS jQWidgets

Technologies:
Smart UI – Javascript ES6, HTML5, CSS3, SCSS.
jQWidgets – Javascript ES5, HTML5, CSS.

Frameworks:
Smart UI – Web Components, Angular, React JS and React with Typescript, Vue 3, Blazor(Server-side and WASM).
jQWidgets – Angular, React, Vue 2, React with Typescript, Blazor(WASM).

Styling:
Smart UI – Material Design, 14 CSS3 Themes. Light and Dark mode. CSS3 Variables are available. Bootstrap Theme available.
jQWidgets – Custom Design. 20+ CSS Themes.

Browsers:
Smart UI – Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, Safari. All modern mobile devices are supported.
jQWidgets – Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer 11. Supports both older and modern mobile devices.

Features:–
Smart UI components are more customizable. They include Property Type validation even when you do not use them with Typescript.
– Smart UI components can be used just like using standard HTML tags. For example: “smart-grid” is the tag of a Grid component. In jQWidgets, the Grid is initialized from the “DIV” tag. HTML Attributes set properties. Binding to an event is also
through the native Javascript syntax.
– Smart UI supports the native HTML Template element.
– Smart UI Accessibility is more advanced. WAI-ARIA and Section 508/WCAG are covered.
– Smart UI supports engineering features like Big Numbers, Arbitrary-precision arithmetic and Math functions and DateTime precision up to a yoctosecond (10⁻²⁴ seconds). The components and broadly used in real-world engineering and science web applications.

Usage: You can use either Smart UI or jQWidgets in your application. You can also use them both in 1 application. A good example of that is our Theme Builder web application where we use both products.

Future: Both products are being actively developed by our company. jQWidgets product is still more stable and is more broadly used among our customers.
