"JQuery UI is vest for user interface"

5/5

What do you like best about JQuery UI?

Jquery UI is straightforward to use. At that time, it was very used for the user interface because its saved time and performance. Jquery UI provides many functions that are very useful. And we efficiently used it by using Jquery CDN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JQuery UI?

Jquery UI is disliked because some functions are working on a version, not on all versions. So it is too hard to identify. And to use it, you have a deep knowledge of Jquery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Required for lots of JQ effects, DND, & gives handy access to richer, prettier UI components too!!"

5/5

What do you like best about JQuery UI?

My favorite is probably explode ($( "#toggle" ).toggle( "explode" );) but there are tons of others, and you need it for drag-n-drop, and it has all kinds of other stuff that comes along too like accordions and resize-ability, date-pickers, it gives you everything you'd need for a JavaScript UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JQuery UI?

I could probably go for something without the graphical influence, like, for example, drag-n-drop is essential in an application, the button themes you get aren't necessarily essential, so I could probably go for something even lighter than JQuery UI for some projects. It's already a lightweight addition, but yeah, the graphical components seem less essential than the functionality additions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering JQuery UI:

Basic JQuery gives you lots of stuff, animations, a whole syntax, and easy DOM manipulation. Add JQueryUI, and you get all kinds of features on top of JQuery, like drag-n-drop, more effects, and fancy buttons and GUI elements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is JQuery UI solving and how is that benefiting you?

Again I use it for toggle explode, but I need it for JavaScript drag-n-drop. I think you can do it with pure JavaScript but JQueryUI, for how lightweight it is, really streamlines that functionality. Plus, then I can trust John Resig to deal with cross browser compatibility issues, instead of me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"JQuery Framework"

4.5/5

What do you like best about JQuery UI?

JQuery is easy to use. With basic knowledge of javascript, any user can use JQuery for additional front-end features for web UI. Some of JQuery's features help simplify AJAX call by making page performance faster and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JQuery UI?

It contains some issues when written without proper observation or deeper understanding Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use JS library to push some life into your website"

4.5/5

What do you like best about JQuery UI?

jQuery is a great library, especially for people that are starting their adventure with JS. Its main pros are: ease of use, great documentation, loads of functionality and a huge community. You will find out that complex problems can be solved with just a few lines of code and thanks to the great documentation - finding the right code will be a piece of cake, but even if you haven't found it in the documentation there's a huge community that will help you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JQuery UI?

If you're not careful, you'll start to use jQuery everywhere. For simple tasks attaching a (quite huge) jQuery library is worthless. Remember that all the jQuery things a pure JS also can do and for one simple animation it's not worth implementing the whole jQuery library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering JQuery UI:

Use it only when you need several animations on your website. Don't use it when it's just one or two - than is better to just write it on your own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is JQuery UI solving and how is that benefiting you?

jQuery is one of the best solutions you can use if you built your website in technologies like PHP and you want to push some life into your project. It has quite a lot of functions that will allow you to use nice animations and transitions on your website. It will also help you with a few more complex JS projects, but bare in mind - jQuery is just a library, not a framework. You can't build the whole Front-end using it. For those use a proper framework like Angular or React. jQuery for a reason was very popular before the JS frameworks era and it still is, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't care about your website optimization.

"Game changing in its day, but the web has evolved so drastically. "

2.5/5

What do you like best about JQuery UI?

Jquery UI made it easy to add commonly used user interface elements into a web page like dialogs, tabs while also providing effects like fading. All this was done while writing very few lines of code than you would have needed using plain javascript. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JQuery UI?

With the rise of front end javascript frameworks like React, Angular, Vue and many more, that provided more functionality like client side routing, state management, jquery UI quickly became irrelevant Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
