Kendo UI vs jQuery UI - size and javascript framework [closed]

Question

I've seen comparisons of the two but there's one thing that is not clear to me.

Does the new Kendo product use jQuery or does it use its own framework. The reason I ask is that I am already using jQuery and if I use Kendo will that require me to have yet another framework?

Also how does the size of Kendo compare to jQuery / jQuery UI and if I use Kendo is there a way for me to pick just specific components or do I need to download the whole code / css?

Are there any jQuery UI users out there who are considering or who have made a move to Kendo UI ?

Answer 1

Does the new Kendo product use jQuery or does it use its own framework.

Kendo is completely based on jQuery. It has its own components API which is well documented and easy to use.

Also how does the size of Kendo compare to jQuery / jQuery UI and if I use Kendo is there a way for me to pick just specific components or do I need to download the whole code / css?

I suggest you download the Kendo Trial and you'll find all the answers you are seeking. The download package comprises of individual component js/css files and also combined files. Its your choice what to include.
