12 Dec 08 MX-GWT/jsMolEditor

MX is an open source cheminformatics toolkit written in Java. 

Google Web Toolkit(GWT) allows developers to quickly build and maintain complex yet highly performant JavaScript front-end applications in the Java programming language.

MX-GWT is MX ported for GWT. MX-GWT builds a highly-functional, in-memory representation of a chemical structure that can be used for a variety of other purposes.  The significant difference between MX-GWT and any other cheminformatics framework is its ability of running in browsers as pure JavaScript without Applet, Flash or Remote Call support.

Why we do this?

The answer is simple: JavaScript may well be the most widely-distributed runtime on the planet. For this reason, the user experience with a pure HTML/JavaScript site can be far smoother than a site using Java applets, Silverlight, or even Flash.
