Overview of Lotus Domino/Notes toolkits (8) Analysis and Comparison

9.3 comparison of Domino/Notes toolkits

According to the above analysis, when comparing the Domino/Notes toolkit, we should consider their processing capabilities for unstructured data and their dependence on the Domino/Notes platform, consider the application and restrictions of Domino/Notes security features.
At the same time, the performance and efficiency of tools, application scalability, support for different operating systems, cross-platform support, security, support for Domino/Notes Versions, coding efficiency, and code maintainability will also be considered..

9.3.7 others

From the maturity of each toolkit, C/C ++ API development has the longest and most stable time. Notessql has also undergone multiple version revisions and is relatively mature. Java/CORBA toolkit and lddj have not been developed for a long time. They are not very easy to use and are not very mature. Other sdks, such as for com and LSX, are developed for specific needs. Version 1.0 is hardly updated after release.
According to the latest release time of the Toolkit, it is also relatively active in C/C ++, notessql, lddj, Java/CORBA and other toolkit. Java-related toolkit updates are slower than expected. It may be related to the fact that Domino/Notes is currently being transferred from a traditional platform to a J2EE platform and is not yet stable.
