WeX5 and Ali Weex and what is the entanglement? Come and see the HTML5 development circle.

April 21 ~ 23rd, the Qcon Congress Beijing station hosted by Infoq was held as scheduled.

HTML5 development has become the undisputed focus of the mobile development/front-end topic, the core issue has been from the previous years whether the use of HTML5 to how high-performance, efficient HTML5 application development .

WeX5 and Weex who are Lee ghosts?

This conference appeared a pair of Li Kui and Lee Ghosts: WeX5 and Weex. Ali in the General Assembly high-profile announced that Weex will open source in June, but in the General Assembly busy is the exhibition WeX5. In WeX5 's booth, there are always participants to ask: Weex and WeX5 god horse relationship?

Also known as HTML5 Development tools , the name is so similar, WeX5 and Weex are brothers? Or, who is Lee Ghost, who is Li Kui?

According to the author, WeX5 is the beginning of the 2014 public launch of the "high-performance and efficient HTML5 app development tools, follow the Apache protocol completely open source free." WeX5 adheres to the core concept of ' building a good car with the industry's leading wheels ', and the overall framework is deeply integrated and optimized based on the industry's common mainstream technology. Applications developed with WEX5 can easily achieve ' one-second turn-on ' performance. The WEX5 developer community has 500,000 + active developers, and has developed a complete and diverse ecosystem of developers to close the loop. WEX5 will continue to promote the radical transformation of the application development model, let the developer ' Coding less,value more! ', and finally realize the thorough reconstruction of the application software development and production organization mode. ”

According to Ali's external propaganda, "The birth of Weex benefited from the early development of Ali's internal research through the JSON data described native rendered project Weapp, and vue.js the front-end open-source MVVM framework. Ali engineers combined Weapp's rendering capabilities with Vue.js's front-end development experience to create a Weex cross-platform mobile development tool. ”

However, apart from the high-profile show at the Qcon Beijing Congress, Weex is still lacking in technical support, community building and the actual landing action. In its present form, it is almost impossible for prospective developers to gain direct access to official technical support. Even at the Ali Booth of the Qcon conference, the products that are publicly available for consultation with the attendees do not contain Weex.

Relatively speaking, the HTML5 development tool, which takes longer to launch,--wex5 a lot more mature in this regard. WeX5 already has a HTML5 technology community of hundreds of thousands of developers, with free official HTML5 development support, as well as more interactive interactions between developers, documentation, tutorials, videos, training courses and much more. And, the content is also updating the optimization faster and faster.

Of course, Weex is born to carry a halo of Ali, this is its more advantageous.

One is the KPI of the team, one is the company's job

As a qcon on-site attendees compared Weex and WeX5 reviews: One is for play, one for the job. The participants said that "in fact, the open source within a large company may itself be a KPI project, the vision of the Giants is good, but they do not rely on this meal is also the fact that the position is different, so there will be a difference in attitude, if you in Ali environment with Weex should be a good choice." ”

By contrast, HTML5 development tool--WEX5 is the core product of start-up technology and the foundation of the start-up technology developer community. WeX5 Company's history and actions have shown that WeX5 is in the use of commercial serious attitude, real money investment to do open source, is in the enterprise life around open source products to create the developer ecosystem.

One in ensemble, one as life in business. Who is Li Kui, who is Li Ghost, believe that the developer will make the choice that best suits their needs.
