Rico

Rico allows you to rapidly develop Ajax applications with an easy to use framework.

Rico extends the component set from the previous versions. The LiveGrid has been expanded to include filtering, column resizing, and many more features. The core of Rico 2.0 has been designed to enable custom components to be more easily built.

Features:

Animation Effects
Rico 2.0 provides responsive animation for smooth effects and transitions that that can communicate change in richer ways than traditional web applications have explored before. Unlike most effects, Rico 2.0 animation can be interrupted, paused, resumed, or have other effects applied to it to enable responsive interaction that the user does not have to wait on.

Behaviors
Take some raw HTML and sprinkle in some behaviors and what do you get? Well in Rico you can easily build an Accordion component like those found in Macromedia Flex and Laszlo.

Styling
Rico provides several cinematic effects as well as some simple visual style effects in a very simple interface.

Drag And Drop
Desktop applications have long used drag and drop in their interfaces to simplify user interaction. Rico provides one of the simplest interfaces for enabling your web application to support drag and drop. Just register any HTML element or JavaScript object as a draggable and any other HTML element or JavaScript object as a drop zone and Rico handles the rest.

AJAX Support
Rico provides a very simple interface for registering Ajax request handlers as well as HTML elements or JavaScript objects as Ajax response objects. Multiple elements and/or objects may be updated as the result of one Ajax request.
