I am quite interested in what is happening in jQuery for the next 2 weeks.

With the release of version 1.4 the jQ team has announced 14 days of news, code relaeases etc.

The website created for the event is nice and as pre release day news we got a brand new api browser site that looks most efficient and organized.

So let's wait and see what news will come in teh next weeks.

Templating in jQuery with jTemplates

Posted By Andrea Campolonghi | Posted in javascript , Jquery | Posted on Oct

I am working in these days on the front side of an application that need to manage a huge amount of data pushed in JSON format.

These datas are not needed to be analyzed or filtered.

What I  need is to be able to display info ( coming in a unique set of data )  in many different part of the page using quite complex html generated by many conditional statements. Of course I need to be able to refresh the different areas individually.

I have used in the past spry or ext in these case but I always considered both oversized for this job, at the end the dataset has not to be manipulated.

I have then found a very powerfull solutions in jTemplates. This is a wonderfull templating tool that can be used as jquery plugin or in plain js. Between the features available :

  • conditional statements
  • looping
  • parameters
  • nested templates

Performance are very good. Have a try I really recommend this.

Some of the biggest news from the jquery blog:

The css engine has been abstracted from the jquery core code so to be usable alsoinstand alone mode. Normally this shoud not be so important news but the fact that sizzle parsing speed looks to be so impressive make it available also to others library like prototype,mootools and others.
