extpascal

ExtPascal is an Object Pascal (Delphi, FreePascal/Lazarus) wrapper/binding for Ext JS, a comprehensive GUI Ajax framework for Rich Internet Application (RIA) development. ExtPascal will wrap Draw2d and CodePress libraries too and future releases. It uses ideas from others Ext JS wrappers: ExtSharp and ExtPHP.

FeaturesHigh performance with native code for Server side programming, no PHP required. Uses FastCGI or CGI for Web Server communication. Compatible with any Web Server supporting CGI or FastCGI protocols. Statefull, keep-alive and multithread server applications. Parses Ext JS HTML documentation to Object Pascal code. Self-translate Object Pascal code to JavaScript code during execution. Coding in full Object Pascal, minimal use of (X)HTML, CSS and JavaScript. AJAX programming using Object Pascal. Full wrapper to all Ext JS classes, singletons and widgets. Transparent support for all main web browsers: IE 5+, Firefox 1.5+, Safari 2+ and Opera 9+ on any client side platform! Server side multi-platform support through FreePascal 2.2.2+ compiler. Tested on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. Thread Garbage Collector for all Ext JS classes and widgets. Slim Services and EventLog support for Windows Produces very tiny executables. Easy debugging. Convert your desktop and client/server applications, made in Delphi/Lazarus, to Web 2. Standalone Web Server option, no Apache/IIS required (available in 0.9.2 version or SVN) RoadmapThis roadmap is sync with Ext JS Roadmap0.1. Implement wrapper 0.2. Wrapper tested 0.3.
