Which is the best?

Mootools
JQuery
Prototype / scriptaculous


Mootools and JQuery works with out need other framework? Like scriptaculous need prototype.

Yes, scriptaculous is built on top of prototype. I have used that combination, and I was happy with it. However, now I'm shifting more to JQuery, because I like the way that code is written.

But at work, we use Dojo and Ext. Yet 2 other frameworks to choose from.

There is no definate response to which one is the best. It's a matter of taste and needs.

JQuery

If not that then, prototype.

I say JQuery first because it is the least obtrusive of the three (it will not conflict with other libraries and it does not inject itself in to the DOM functions). Also, its interface goes further to reduce the code needed to develop a given feature. Its syntax actually makes JS look like a more thoughtful language.

Prototype is very easy to use, and paired with Scriptaculous things like Drag and Drop are impossibly simple to implement. They also have very nice AJAX functions.

I have less experience with Dojo, but it is much harder to learn and the available documentation left much to be desired. Although even Prototype can be a challenge to learn from its documentation.

At work I'm stuck with Prototype and Scriptaculous.

My favorite is jQuery. I love how simple it is to use. Everything just make sense.

I've used Prototype and Scriptaculous before and I like them alright, but like T1 said, they don't play well with others.

I use Yahoo UI on a couple of projects at work, and intend to use it more in the future. It's big and complex, but it works well.

I've not worked with mootools much, but it seems alright.

I think you should really try doing a couple of projects with each one and see what you like best. They're all decent libraries.

Recently I've worked with prototype and scriptaculous only. I'm thinking to test now jQuery and Mootools.

Thanks for the answers.

Also, as far as I know, Dojo is the only library which currently addresses web accessibility and I've heard it does it very well.

I think jQuery is pretty good and do much with less typing also "drupal" one of the best open-source CMS use jQuery as default framework. Good luck!

Dojo strengths:

• Regular expression validation, can be used on both server and client side
• Easy implementation
• Themes which allow you to present a polished interface very quickly, yet customize it if necessary.
• Great collection of layout widgets
• Browser compatibility is done well
• Only loads as much code as necessary to process the page
• Powerful event control
• Easy to work with AJAX interface

Dojo gets my vote, especially since Zend Framework announced the interation of Dojo
