Seven year ago on July 7th, Webix was released for the first time. During these years the library grew up into the mature eco-system for building web applications and gathered a large audience of developers. We are happy to deliver quality code and support you in your business solutions. Hope it is so 😉

To keep up with the tradition, today we are ready to present Webix 7.4 with the emphasis on complex widgets.

Amidst the hard times that we are facing now it is important to keep on doing
what we do. Thus, today we are especially excited to announce the release of

Webix team is proud to introduce the newly released Webix 5.0. It includes the updated Webix Jet framework, three new widgets and some useful feature upgrades, such as export of widget styles to Excel. Enjoy!

Being keen on data management and visualization, Webix always stays flexible and open for interaction with other frameworks, so your creativity will never be limited. The UI library can easily welcome your favourite maps, text editors and visual data-driven tools like Sigma, Raphael and D3 charts in addition to JS Chart widget.

Only good-looking and powerful tools for interacting with users can help developers conquer the modern web. Forms are true visitor cards of your application, as the positive experience during filling them adds a lot to user loyalty. Let’s find out how many carma points you can achieve by choosing Webix Javascript form.

Performance is a key feature of modern web applications. It is a mountain you have to climb to win your customer’s heart, but sometimes its top remains unreachable due to heavy tasks the application has to perform on the client side.

Take, for instance, Webix Pivot table JS widget. It does a hard job of calculating and aggregating data and may leave the UI unresponsive if the data is too big. Fortunately, from version 4.2 the widget comes supplied with an HTML5 Web Worker, which takes all the data processing into a separate thread.
