Is SmartClient same with SmartGWT? If not what's the difference between the two and which is a better tool to create a web application?

  • I would take GWT because I simply prefer idea+maven instead of npm+babel+webpack+typescript+eslint+jest – corsair Feb 19 '20 at 11:45

    `GWT` is Google Web Toolkit; see [gwt.org](http://www.gwtproject.org/). Basically `SmartGWT` is server side Java and `Smartclient` is client side Javasript. `SmartGWT`generates web documents as `Smartclient`. If you are starting from scratch you can develop your entire solution in `SmartGWT` in Java, with `Smartclient` you can add it to web apps. I have used `Smartclient` with both `PHP` and `ASP.NET`. – Insinbad May 27 '14 at 05:10

SmartGWT is based on java code and when compiled it transforms it into java script, is a heavy since it transforms java code into js.

SmartClient is a framework based on js, you can use its components in an xml page and you manipulate them in Js, and it’s light.
