OO JQuery and classes

Question

I\'m working on a site and using JQuery for essentially the first time. I\'ve mostly used MooTools for previous projects, and I have a few widget classes I\'ve written usin

Answer 1

There are third party javascript class implementations that provide very powerful introspection capabilites. I would like to particularly highlight JS.Class and Joose. While JS.Class is modeled after Ruby, Joose is modeled after Moose. I am not a mootools user so I can not comment on their advantages/disadvantages with respect to mootools. But I would summarize their key features.

JS.Class has a strong focus on simulating the Object oriented features of Ruby and does a pretty good job at that. It provides a powerful library modeled after the standard library of Ruby and also comes with a well integrated package management and testing framework.

Joose, while provides no testing framework/package management facilites, excels in terms of advanced attribute management facilities, filters and better introspection facilities.

Both of them have really good documentation and can be used in browser as well as server.
