Check out JavaScriptMVC for a complete MVC framework. It’s got everything you would need.

Include – makes it easy to compress any JavaScript application, no matter how complex its dependencies. It leaves you to focus on organization with logically separated JavaScript files.

Model – Easily connect to any data source using REST APIs. Based on the Jester library, Model uses a simple, ActiveRecord-like syntax and supports cross-domain communication.

View – Views cleans the HTML out of your JavaScript with client side templates. Instead of messy HTML string concatenation, organize your code with templates that let you see the structure of your markup.

Controller – Keep your application logic separate from your HTML with simple, DRY event handlers. Controllers use event delegation, meaning you never have to reattach your event handlers even when edit your page’s HTML.

Also, everything is a plugin, so you only have to load the components you want. Even better, we are making library INTERdependent. This means that if you include a library like prototype, JavaScriptMVC will know to only load functionality that prototype doesn’t provide.

Update: jMVC is now integrated with ASP.NET, making a simple yet powerful way to put MVC-clean UIs in your existing ASP.NET application. The tricky client/server plumbing is dealt with automatically, so your strongly-typed .NET objects can be read and written in your client-side view.

On InfoQ.com, I am using some in-house developed code that allows DWR integration with WebWork, so we have AJAX-MVC. The benefits are qutie obvious and I am very happy with this decission. And by the way: I have contributed back this code to DWR (it still needs polishing and small fixes, but for now it prooved good enough).

So the solution to feeling that youâ€™re â€œdoing the same things over and over again?â€ is â€œcreating your own AJAX MVC frameworkâ€?

It’s not re-inventing the wheel. It’s called searching for the most convenient way of designing, developing, and deploying web applications.

That’s where TIBCO GI started back in 2000 — a MVC approach to deliver web apps that look and feel like desktop GUIs. There were lots of comparisons to JavaSwing and this architectural approach to the challenges that arise once you go beyond basic DHTML manipulation cases back then too.

Given enough time, eventually a million Javascript Ajax coders will reproduce Java Swing in Javascript.
