JQuery UI library as comprehensive as extjs, dojo / dijit, YUI?

Question

jQuery is the most popular JavaScript library (see the list of tags on the right). However, the “official” UI library, jQuery UI, provides far fewer widgets than some other libraries (extjs, dojo / dijit, YUI for examples) out of the box.

Are there other user interface libraries built on jQuery to compare these "other libraries"? Preferably free for open source projects.

Answer 1

Ext JS is easily the most powerful .. another advantage of Ext JS is that it can be used with jQuery and Prototype ... so you can get the best out of both. In addition, ext js has now redesigned MVC -style architecture, so it is more flexible. BUT this is a dodgy license at best. Therefore, be sure to go through licensing before you decide to use Ext JS.

Answer 2

I think most powerful Extjs. I don’t know a good jQuery library that includes core components

Answer 3

There are several interface / widget libraries on jQuery. Two of them:

If you're comfortable with another library, extjs is super powerful.
