Ajax Engine Comparison
Prototype 26.6%
script.aculo.us 19.5%
DWR 14.8%
Dojo 11.1%
Ruby on Rails 10.0%
Rico 6.8%
Ajax.NET 6.8%
Sajax 5.7%
xajax 3.3%
Prototype is leading with 26.6% share and it is used by script.aculo.us and Rico frameworks. Again, Ruby on
Rails uses script.aculo.us which is based on Prototype. So together Prototype share is more than 70%. Currently
I am using Dojo framework and its market share is way below the Prototype share. Dojo’s packaging system,
UI widgets(like Rich Text editor) and its event system makes Dojo as a well engineered framework. I also like
its IFrame workaround for back button support.
