Software Developer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/20/2022 "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. What problems is JQuery UI solving and how is that benefiting you? JQuery is used for CSS and performs some action on particular selectors. And we serve our actions without reloading our page by using Ajax calls. It solves the time issue and makes responsive webs.

Programmer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/2/2021 "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.

Technical Consultant Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 8/6/2021 "Easiest way to implement functionalities in the code" 4.5/5 What do you like best about JQuery UI?

Lead Software Developer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/22/2020 "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.

Manager, Marketing Strategy Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/28/2019 "JQuery for the Web Applications" 5/5 What do you like best about JQuery UI? The easiest way to integrate the JQuery user interface with an existing application. Download the library and use the APIs to convert the standard user interface with a rich user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about JQuery UI? Still waiting for an API on the table object. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering JQuery UI: This is the most stable APIs we found. JQuery API and the online theme generator reduced the development time from 3 months per application to 2 weeks development and testing time. The online examples are very helpful for the functional users to understand what UI components to be used for which requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is JQuery UI solving and how is that benefiting you? Opening a dialog box was the biggest problem for most of our applications. It was always slow because the application used to open an instance of the web browser. JQuery dialog gave a lighter and rich user interface for the end users. We changed the Menu and Accordion for several applications which simplified the user screen. We saved lot of money of rewriting the whole application. JQuery UI ready to use theme helped us to convert all the page object colors to match our organization branding theme. We created a coustomer and vendor ranking screen using the Sortable API. This was the game changer for the organization when for the 1st time we decided to use JQuery UI. There were lot of information on the web page and we did not have an option to organize it. Accordion UI object helped us to group together the information for the users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Custom WIdgets, ready to eat" 5/5 What do you like best about JQuery UI? Much like M.R.E food, that needs only hot water, JQuery UI's provide ready to use widgets that can be directly pasted into any composer including codepen. JQuery UI is easy to use and customize, especially with bootstrap widgets, and themes are easy to add. It reduces production time to less than a tenth. It is directly amenable to zero-code development, though I still like to intimidate people with code, as Linus says stop the cheap talk, show us the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about JQuery UI? It is not customizable to many newer CSS libraries and themes, including support for reactive programming. I am sure stream based UI's will be added soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering JQuery UI: It is a great way to write JS, reduces development time by a tenth, if the themes are suitable to you, You can always contribute more themes and open publish it.
