"Great for building UI quick and easily."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Ext JS?

I like ExtJS because everything is built in and I don't have to rely on third party libraries. For example, I can build a fully fleshed out grid in only a few lines of code.

I like that the documentation is thorough and there are a lot of examples of ways to build different UI components using the kitchen sink. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ext JS?

I wish there was some better support for integrating third party libraries like custom charts. I wish there was some more support for the paid version of font awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ext JS:

It's not a free open source framework like some others but you get tons of value for what you pay for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ext JS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're building a large, complex enterprise application and it's so easy to display data in grids and charts and it's all built into ExtJS.

Another problem we're solving is reducing our applications load time. We've Incorporated dynamic package loading by separating features into ExtJS packages. This has made our user experience speedier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great quick-development framework."

4/5

What do you like best about Ext JS?

The level by which complicated systems can be created. Elements can be used in a complicated, functional interface for minutes. The whole suite has a coherent look that appeals to customers, and it is straightforward to customize it using both Sencha Themer or Cmd's SASS compilation characteristics. Both practical features can be readily modularized, the proposed MVC (or recently MMVC) composition and operation templates make the organisation of code a doddle, so that each code file can be maintained to around 100 top forwards with the correct organisation, which makes code quite straightforward and similarly knowledge its structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ext JS?

The selling prices is a bit excessive, glitches can be hard to detect and sometimes elements, particularly the HTML editor, are hard to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ext JS:

This is not like several others an open source structure, but you have a great deal of value for what you're paying for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ext JS solving and how is that benefiting you?

This assisted us in creatin user interfaces that are robust and reliable. I am using it primarily to create administration analytics and make it user-friendly without worried about other challenging-to-use web structures or prebuilt templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My experience with Ext JS"

4/5

What do you like best about Ext JS?

When I started working , I searched through web to find out the pros and cons of Ext JS. My Initial assumption was that it is not worth it. But after using it personally for my work I found out that It is very useful and has lot of unique features. This is very user friendly. The things which I liked the most are:

1. The UI interface is really good.

2. It provides support to lot of web functions (MVC, REST)

3.The documentation for all the versions( Makes lifer very easy for users)

4. HTML is not required at all Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ext JS?

It is good but not the best I say, This has some cons (not very big though).

1. Pricing ( This makes life easy but the cost is relatively high)

2. Customer support issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ext JS:

Well there are various reasons why one should opt for Ext JS. Apart from pricing , I feel It is one of the best available in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ext JS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used this for my college project. I have created single-web-page application using Ext JS. These was one more project in which I worked on end user applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good framework and easy to work with"

4/5

What do you like best about Ext JS?

The components are all acting the same, using the same vocabulary so it is easy to understand and know what to expect whatever component you are using. But what I like most with extjs is the very detailed documentation combined with other helpful users sharing their fiddles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ext JS?

When you want to do/solve something unexpected that is obvious to you and don't find others with the same problem. Or when you google somethin and most of the answers you find are related to an older version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ext JS:

Extjs is not like working with react or angular, But it is a complete toolkit/framework witrh a lot of components and a good roadmap + support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ext JS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a working one-page-app with some pretty advanced functionality that works in all browsers. Working with model-view-controller is so great and just anyone can jump into the code and imediately understand whats going on, if they have som extjs knowledge.

"Fantastic framework for rapid development"

4/5

What do you like best about Ext JS?

The speed with which complex applications can be built. Ready to use components take minutes to put together into a complex, functional UI. The entire suite offers a consistent look which appeals to clients and customizing it with their own branding is very simple using either Sencha Themer or simply through the SASS compilation features provided by Sencha Cmd.

All functionality can be easily modularized, the framework's suggested MVC (or more recently MMVC) structure and the project template they provide makes organizing code a cinch and with proper organization each code file can be kept to around a 100 lines tops, making browsing code very simple and understanding its structure similarly simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ext JS?

The pricing is a little steep for single developers, sometimes bugs can be difficult to track down and certain components can be difficult to work with at times, especially the HTML editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Staff UI for our Adaptive Enterprise Workflow Platform"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Ext JS?

ExtJS allowed us to build a highly adaptive front end to an enterprise Workflow Management platform - using a library of industrial strength, robust widgets, without having to be concerned with cross browser weirdness. The touch support is also reasonable, given that we didn't initially target touch at all - we basically got most of it for 'free' as it was provided natively in ExtJS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ext JS?

Upgrades have sometimes been quite significant, including many breaking changes. This makes 'keeping current' somewhat expensive and somewhat daunting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ext JS:

Consider strongly whether to use the full framework or just the widgets with another framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ext JS solving and how is that benefiting you?

The consistent look and feel and quality of the widgets is outstanding. This allowed us to build our primary Staff facing UI for our enterprise product such that it works cross browser, cross platform, and provides a very professional and consistent look and experience for our users. Layout is adaptive based on meta-data, and it looks consistent and clean throughout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My Journey Experience from ExtJS3 to ExtJS6"

4/5

What do you like best about Ext JS?

Powerfull components and integration with other third party lib's Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ext JS?

Few of the components are challenging to learn and use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ext JS:

Try it you will love it.

I would recommend using ExtJS, it has flexibility to integrate with other libraries making it more powerful.

Documentation and support are top-notch.

Easy to integrate with any server-side framework.

Support of multiple browsers

Support of Mobile devices.

MVC and MVVM framework

Can easily debug the js library.

Dislikes:

Cost

Difficult to use themes

HTML editor component needs enhancements, it looks like a very basic version.

Graphs are not clear, they look dull.

Id and ItemId made automation testing difficult, we need to build our own id attribute for automation.

Pivot grid performance issues.

Focus issues, on a few systems

Suggestions:

Provide more default themes.

Need a theme with smaller fonts, icons, tabs etc..similar to classic theme.

HTML editor with more options.

Inline filters on the grid.

Editable Grid - Direct Component to support all features similar to MSExcel.

Internationalization

If you are and UI developer, I would recommend to ty ExtJS, if you are still looking for other frameworks you can still go with ExtJS as you can integrate with other libraries too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ext JS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had built an awful UI for our enterprise application.

A lot of inbuilt component which are ready to use and integration with other libraries.

A lot of time-saving by using the readily available components and easily pluggable.

Support of web and mobile with the same libraries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ext-JS the best javascript library for business application"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Ext JS?

In my company (Ethea S.r.l.) we uses ExtJS from version 3 to build our web builder tool named "Kitto", made with Delphi.

ExtJS had a complete suite of components so we don't need to search and integrate different libraries: for this reason it was very simple to make Kitto because every component (grid, menu, toolbar, panel, form, etc...) works in the same way and Kitto build Javascrit automatically based on a object oriented structure. Another good reason is that Ext JS is a suits of classes with strong inheritance and a way to build GUI in an elegant and simple way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ext JS?

The only problems that we encounters was the gap from ExtJS 3 and ExtJS6: for this reason, Kitto2, based on ExtJS6 was partially rewritten because of the change of the undeline javascript library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ext JS:

Don't ask for free javascript components and libraries, ask for a unique and better suite of hundreds components . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ext JS solving and how is that benefiting you?

With ExtJS + Kitto we build Web application in a very fast way: the applications are very robust and we continue to work on Kitto to support new features that ExtJS 7 introduced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"If you want to create a business application, you should go with ExtJS"

4/5

What do you like best about Ext JS?

The fact that ExtJS has ready components Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ext JS?

Learning curve that ExtJS has was quite a big. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ext JS:

Remember that learning curve is bigger than with other frameworks, but when you/your team make it, you will have a powerful JS framework on your hands to create great business applications. However if you are going to make nice sexy interface for a game or so (not business application), maybe other frameworks will suite your needs better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ext JS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use ExtJS to create a business application that looks like a business application.

Benefits of the ExtJS are that it includes ready components for business application. For example if you create Payroll, Finance, Material Handling, Warehousing, Sales (=ERP), OM, CRM etc. application, ExtJS is the right JS framework for that. It is not as sexy or hip as ReactJS or the learning curve is not as easy as Angular has - but for business applications it has the right components and you don't need to use time developing them or the functionality to those components. If you have for example 10 developers, you decide what components you will have and how your application should look like - you don't need to create boiler plate or some other kind of UI + component development hazzledazzle like you would need to do with many other JS frameworks.
