Comparing Javascript Libraries www.XenCraft.com Comparing JavaScript Libraries Craig Cummings, Tex Texin October 27, 2015 Abstract Which JavaScript library is best for international deployment? This session presents the results of several years of investigation of features of JavaScript libraries and their suitability for international markets. We will show how the libraries were evaluated and compare the results for ECMA, Dojo, jQuery Globalize, Closure, iLib, ibm-js and intl.js. The results may surprise you and will be useful to anyone designing new international or multilingual JavaScript applications or supporting existing ones. 2 Agenda • Background • Evaluation Criteria • Libraries • Results • Q&A 3 Origins • Project to extend globalization - Complex e-Commerce Software - Multiple subsystems - Different development teams - Different libraries already in use • Should we standardize? Which one? - Reduce maintenance - Increase competence 4 Evaluation Criteria • Support for target and future markets • Number of internationalization features • Quality of internationalization features • Maintained? • Widely used? • Ease of migration from existing libraries • Browser compatibility 5 Internationalization Feature Requirements • Encoding Support • Text Support -Unicode -Case, Accent Mapping -Supplementary Chars -Boundary detection -Bidi algorithm, shaping -Character Properties -Transliteration -Charset detection • Message Formatting -Conversion -IDN/IRI -Resource/properties files -Normalization -Collation -Plurals, Gender, et al 6 Internationalization Feature Requirements (more) • Regular Expressions • Data formats -Date, time, calendar • Compression -Time zone -Number, Currency • Locales -Postal Address -Names (BCP 47) -Names, Honorifics -Negotiation -Phone numbers -Fallback -Detection • Measurement systems 7 Candidate Libraries AccDC MooTools Ample SDK PhoneJS CupQ Prototype DHTMLX Pyjamas Dojo qooxdoo Echo3 Rialto Toolkit Enyo Rico Ext JS SmartClient & SmartGWT Google Web Toolkit Wakanda i18next Web Atoms jQuery Webix Midori YUI MochiKit ZK8 I18n Libraries (general libraries left; messages-specific right) ECMA (402+262) jQuery.i18n (Wikimedia) Dojo L20n (Mozilla) jQuery Globalize FormatJS Closure iLib CLDRPluralRuleParser ibm-js I18Next intl-js messageformat.js l10n.js moment.js l10ns numeral.js browser-i18n date.js requirejs-i18n jQuery.now 9 The ECMA I18n Standard • Why not rely on the new standard? - ECMA-402 • 1st Edition released Dec, 2012 • 2nd Edition released Jun, 2015 - ECMA-262 (supplementary character support) • 6th Edition released Jun 2015 - More details at site of one of authors • http://norbertlindenberg.com/2013/10/javascript-internationalization/index.html 10 Desirable Features - Cross-browser compatibility – including Safari • Desktop, Mobile, Node.js, Older versions - Based on CLDR Locale Data - Based on ICU (see next slide) - Ease of data update and customization • Time zone data (Olson/IANA) • CLDR locale corrections and additions - Part of a larger (useful) JS platform - Well-performing (CPU, download size, disk, memory) 11 ICU Value (Skeleton Dates) DateFormat(DateFormat.FULL) SimpleDateFormat ICU Skeleton = JS Results English Wednesday, December 23, 2015 Wednesday December 23 2015Wednesday, December 23, 2015 French mercredi 23 décembre 2015 mercredi décembre 23 2015 mercredi 23 décembre 2015 German Mittwoch, 23.

Tools and instructions available per readme files in package. - ibm-js readme lacks links to 2/3 require-related libraries • JQ on server/browser (not node.js) is painful. Even then needs tweaking to remove locales from jQuery require 19 Rafael Xavier Comparison Matrix (https://libraries.io/github/rxaviers/javascript-globalization) 20 Feature Comparison Eye Chart Feature iLib Closure Globalize Dojo ibm-js/Intl.js/ECMA Locale 683 682 683 683 683 CLDR Locale Data ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Date/Time ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Number/Currency/Percentage ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ International Calendars ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Parsing ✔ partial ✔ Collation ✔ ✔ Bidi ✔ ✔ †iLib additionally has support for time zone, measurement, name, address and phone formats as well as resource files, Unicode normalization, case mapping, encoding conversion and more †† ECMA (and ibm-js & intl.js) has (have) extensive locale detection, negotiation, and fallback support ††† Notably still missing is support for boundary detection/wrapping, Unicode regex, and IDNs/IRIs 21 Message Library Comparison Lib Concat Gender Plural Ordinal Grammar Custom FormatJS ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ JQ I18n ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ L20N ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ CldrPlural ✔ ✔ JQ Globalize ✔ ✔ ✔ Closure ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ messageformat.js ✔ ✔ ✔ i18next ✔ ✔ ✔ l10ns ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ browser-i18n ✔ ✔ iLib ✔ ✔ ✔ ECMA 22 Conclusion • Further investigation and recent changes indicate better i18n coverage in “basic” areas (a problem noted in the past) - Improvements on mobile • ECMA could use more consistent results across browsers • Extensive evaluation is nice to have; scoping to near- term needs is practical - Risks repeating and replacing library in the future 23 Resources • ECMA - ECMA-402 Edition 2 • http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-402/2.0/ECMA-402.pdf - ECMA-262 Edition 6 (supplementary characters) • http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/Ecma-262.pdf - Mozilla Developer Network • https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl 24 Resources (other libraries) Dojo https://dojotoolkit.org/ jQuery Globalize https://github.com/jquery/globalize iLib http://sourceforge.net/projects/i18nlib/ Closure https://github.com/google/closure-library ibm-js https://github.com/ibm-js/ecma402 Intl.js https://github.com/andyearnshaw/Intl.js/ 25 Questions? 26 Craig R.

  • 1. the ZK User Interface Markup Language
    1. The ZK User Interface Markup Language The ZK User Interface Markup Language (ZUML) is based on XML. Each XML element describes what component to create. XML This section provides the most basic concepts of XML to work with ZK. If you are familiar with XML, you could skip this section. If you want to learn more, there are a lot of resources on Internet, such as http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_whatis.asp and http://www.xml.com/pub/a/98/10/guide0.html. XML is a markup language much like HTML but with stricter and cleaner syntax. It has several characteristics worth to notice. Elements Must Be Well-formed First, each element must be closed. They are two ways to close an element as depicted below. They are equivalent. Close by an end tag: <window></window> Close without an end tag: <window/> Second, elements must be properly nested. Correct: <window> <groupbox> Hello World! </groupbox> </window> Wrong: <window> <groupbox> Hello World! </window> </groupbox> Special Character Must Be Replaced XML uses <element-name> to denote an element, so you have to replace special characters. For example, you have to use &lt; to represent the < character. ZK: Developer's Guide Page 1 of 92 Potix Corporation Special Character Replaced With < &lt; > &gt; & &amp; " &quot; ' &apos; It is interesting to notice that backslash (\) is not a special character, so you don't need to escape it at all. Attribute Values Must Be Specified and Quoted Correct: width="100%" checked="true" Wrong: width=100% checked Comments A comment is used to leave a note or to temporarily edit out a portion of XML code.

  • The Role of Standards in Open Source Dr
    Panel 5.2: The role of Standards in Open Source Dr. István Sebestyén Ecma and Open Source Software Development • Ecma is one of the oldest SDOs in ICT standardization (founded in 1961) • Examples for Ecma-OSS Standardization Projects: • 2006-2008 ECMA-376 (fast tracked as ISO/IEC 29500) “Office Open XML File Formats” RAND in Ecma and JTC1, but RF with Microsoft’s “Open Specification Promise” – it worked. Today at least 30+ OSS implementations of the standards – important for feedback in maintenance • 201x-today ECMA-262 (fast tracked as ISO/IEC 16262) “ECMAScript Language Specification” with OSS involvement and input. Since 2018 different solution because of yearly updates of the standard (Too fast for the “fast track”). • 2013 ECMA-404 (fast tracked as ISO/IEC 21778 ) “The JSON Data Interchange Syntax“.

What actions of the European Commission could maximize the positive impact of Open Source in the European economy?
