About Sencha GXT
Sencha GXT is a framework for building web application interfaces that is based on Java and the Google Web Toolkit (GWT): application logic and interface are developed in Java and then compiled into JavaScript for the browser.
The framework is suited to extensive, interface-heavy web applications, such as line-of-business systems with many input forms, tables, and analysis views. It is aimed primarily at development teams with a Java background who want to build a web interface within their familiar Java toolchain rather than switching to a purely JavaScript-based environment.
Compared with Sencha Ext JS, which is developed directly in JavaScript, the difference with GXT lies in the development language and underlying toolchain: GXT ties interface development to Java and GWT, while Ext JS stays within the JavaScript ecosystem. The two frameworks therefore cover different development environments and team profiles, even though they come from the same vendor.
For institutions with existing Java-based application landscapes, GXT can be an option for developing web interfaces without moving development to a second language and a second ecosystem.
