It’s great to see people starting to take advantage of the super-powerful dojo.data.* APIs. It might help make the demo a bit more impressive if they turned off the debugging mode, though ;-)

Very cool. It seems for data intensive applications there are a lot of nice options now: OAT, GI, and Dojo. Curious if anyone has used all three and contrasted. For now, OAT seems to have the most functionality out of the box, plus it loads quickly, and comes with ‘real’ demos and a good compatibility matrix.

In my attempts at using dojo a few months ago I just was not impressed with the tools for building data intensive applications – they seem to be getting there though w/ datastore, filtering table, etc.. But if I was building a flashy 2.0 type app, maybe I’d use it, but there seem to be a lot of libraries that fill this niche.

Then GI hit the scene and I thought great their matrix and data binding tools are just what I have been looking for, but so far it seems very heavy and I’m still unsure if I will use it. On the surface, OAT seems to be the best option for me. Curious is other have done their own comparisons

Ah, but that’s the beauty of it! Imagine what you could build on top and around this thing. It’s wonderful!

GPL? That could render this useless for just about any commercial application, depending on how the GPL is interpreted for JavaScript as part of a webapp. And, I didn’t spot any options for other licenses.

WOW!!!!! OMFG! This is just insanely great! Just one gripe; It should be possible to build the xpath or output variable list by choosing sample data from the services, when creating a data source.

But the rest is pure magic! Great work!
