Ever wondered how to create rich web applications that look and behave 
like traditional client-server apps? QuiX is the answer. QuiX is a 
javascript engine that renders rich UIs defined in XML and "runs" on the 
latest builds of Mozilla and Internet Explorer 6.0.

QuiX's design is modular, minimizing bandwidth usage. The core files 
contain the base widget implementation, the XUL parser and the server 
communication module (XML-RPC). The summed size of the core files is 
about 30KB making QuiX suitable even for internet deployments.

Apart from the core files, QuiX also includes the modules, which usually 
implement a group of relevant UI widgets. These javascript modules are 
tiny - no more than 12KB - and they are loaded only if an XML UI 
definition references one of the widgets contained in them. There is 
also a small java applet, which is used for file uploads, providing an 
exceptional end user experience.

QuiX comes with a familiar DOM-like API and full CSS2 support. This 
allows web developers to get familiar with it almost instantly.

Some of the widgets implemented are: window, dialog, icon, label, 
button, splitter, toolbars, tree, splitter, tab pane, menu bar, menu, 
list view, a simple data grid etc.

Currently, QuiX is not provided separately. Is is an integral part of 
Porcupine, Innoscript's web application server. If you need to use QuiX 
on existing web applications please contact Innoscript.
