I’m developing a client-side application.
It doesn’t need to be cross-browser.
And also I wanna use drag and drop feature.
I’m familiar with JqueryUI Drag and drop, But I wanna know which one is better in performance and easy programming, Html5, or JqueryUI?
thx
I recently made an application which lets users drag and drop hundreds of items (with lots of CSS) between hundreds of lists (drop zones) and I experienced horrible performance with jQuery. I then changed over to HTML5 Drag and Drop API and since the whole thing runs smoothly even on 1st Gen Centrinos. No wonder, as native code is used.
The HTML5 API needs to get used to since it’s generally written with non-mouse-controlled devices in mind as well, but the results are not more complicated then jQuery UI code.
So as a conclusion I think sticking with jQuery UI is ok when you have only a small number of items to drag. I also expect jQuery UI to use the HTML5 API internally some time in future so you might get that benefit of native code automatically by upgrading to another jQuery version.
