  • I've read the Sencha Touch docs. I feel its MVC model is very attractive but it seems to has a long start-up time, especially with external JavaScript (eg:map).

  • Although I'm comfortable using jQuery in a web site, I have concerns about the maturity of jQuery Mobile. (I haven't tested it yet)

  • I have no idea about Dojo's mobile framework.

Which of these alternatives do you like? Why?

    I don't know about the first 2, but I really love the dojo one. You can give it a try online at http://maqetta.org/ – Philippe Dec 12 '11 at 13:40

So what exactly are you requirements? Each framework has different several advantages and disadvantages....

Me personally I use Jquery Mobile, which is now at it's first official release. Don't let version numbers fool you, this has been developed 1 year long and actually works pretty good! The others provide different capabilities:

  1. sencha is based on javascript controls - you create the whole layout from within javascript using JSON notation for properties/actions/events

  2. jqm allows you to use your "standard" HTML and enhances it "auto-magically". In my opinion this is the closest to HTML you'll ever get

  3. Dojo is more about MVC and allows a more structured environment. Haven't used it personally so I can't say too much about it...

Hope this helps

  • I want to build an app that can work well with google maps,but it seems Sencha touch did it bad(At least on android). – Alex Chan Dec 21 '11 at 13:30
  • here's a [demo](http://jquery-ui-map.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/demos/jquery-mobile-example.html) about using GoogleMaps with JQuery-Mobile, hope this helps you further in your decision making! – Leon Dec 22 '11 at 11:21
  • @Leon, how to display charts using JQuery mobile? I haven't seen any demo of such charts on JQuery site. With Dojo and Sencha we can draw charts and graphs. – Shekhar Jan 09 '12 at 09:39
  • @Shekhar better post a new question for that, or search the web for immediate answers! – Leon Jan 09 '12 at 13:08
