The new .NETHTML5 version introduces a new HTML rendering engine to Visual WebGui. The new engine called “JQT” (jQuery templates) is based on jQuery rather than XSLT. This new direction is required in order to realize the true potential of Visual WebGui according to the shaping technological map of the new web.
Basing Visual WebGui's client rendering engine on jQuery allows building graphic-rich, cross-platform applications based on the new open web standard – HTML5 and provides several more important benefits:
• Better compatibility with the increasing demand for mobile deployment and support for broader range of browsers including iOS and Android browsers.
• Direct exposure to all the latest HTML5 features - using jQuery
• Enhanced performance for JavaScript centered browsers such as the WebKit browsers
• Full usage of any jQuery knowledge and library to natively extend VWG client side of the application.
The table below provides a technical overview of differences between the two versions.
