A Javascript library for building Browser User Interfaces. Orbiton JS is a component base javascript rendering library for creating User Interfaces in the browser. Orbiton was originally developed by Beingana Jim Junior as a rendering engine for his small library for creating video elements. He later decided to separate it from the main package and in order to make it reusable in other projects. That is how it came about.
Most developers ask themselves why use a new young library like Orbiton.
- Light Weight: One of the greatest advantage of Orbiton is that its lightweight. This assures you that your app has fast page loads since most of the chunk is from just your own code.
- Close To Dom: This is another advantage of Orbiton. Being close to the Dom means that the library will not have to carry out many functions in order to update the Dom making the app feel fast for the user.
- Fast: Orbiton JS was written with speed in mind. This users have a great user experience while using your application.
- Modern: Orbiton JS is among the youngest libraries and so it utilizes modern JavaScript removing legacy code from your apps. Most modern browsers like chrome recommend this.
Installing Orbiton is Quite simple. You can use Orbiton to build full Application or just small parts of your website.
