The Dojo Toolkit

The Dojo Toolkit is a powerful and flexible modular Ajax software development kit. It is broken down in to three major layers: Dojo Core, Dijit, and DojoX.

• Dojo Core - All the major functions needed to do Ajax development, plus many features not found in other toolkits. Please refer to Dojo Core reference documentation.
• Dijit - A high quality set of interaction rich widgets and themes for use when developing Ajax applications. Please refer to Dijit reference documentation.
• DojoX (Dojo eXtensions) - A module to contain widgets and APIs that are useful for developing Ajax applications, but are not needed in all applications. Please refer to DojoX reference documentation.

The Dojo Toolkit Web site serves as a guide to these layers, introducing concepts as you need them and working downward from high-level usage to build your own widgets, custom name spaces, and unit tests.

In this version of the Toolkit we provide you with Dojo Toolkit 1.7.X and Dojo 1.8.X

Dojo 1.7.X includes some new modules from the Dojo Toolkit 1.8. These modules are the following:

• DojoX Calendar - A Calendar widget that allows you to visualize and edit events. Please refer to DojoX Calendar documentation.
• DojoX Gauges - A Gauges framework that provides some predefined gauges and allows you to easily create your own. Please refer to the DojoX Gauges documentation.
• DojoX Mobile - A full featured mobile widget library with various mobile themes. Please refer to DojoX Mobile documentation.
• DojoX TreeMap - A Treemap widget that allows you to visualize and analyse complex data sets. Please refer to DojoX TreeMap documentation.
