Browser Support & Compatibility

The new generation Wijmo controls leverage the latest web technologies to provide a fast, interactive, and smooth experience to the users. However, in this quest to provide the best performance, certain legacy browsers are intentionally left. Some of the latest technologies Wijmo utilizes are:

• ECMAScript 5: This version of JavaScript is widely supported across modern browsers as it introduced some notable features such as property getter and setter methods, new array methods, bind methods, and more. These enhancements give an edge to the Wijmo controls as they lead to better usability, performance, and maintainability.

• SVG: SVG enables high-quality visuals and graphics apt for all screen-sizes and resolutions. Modern browsers implement SVG, which makes it easier to create amazing visual representations of your data. Hence, Wijmo too leverages SVG particularly for creating interactive and visually appealing charts and graphs.

• TypeScript: Wijmo leverages TypeScript and its features such as type-checking and OOP concepts to generate a pure JavaScript output. It gives you the option to choose the language of your development work while improving the code quality and scalability.

• Mobile devices: Modern web applications must be accessible on devices of varied sizes. Hence, responsive layouts and touch support have been major considerations in the design and implementation of every Wijmo control. By supporting mobile devices, Wijmo ensures that its controls provide a seamless user experience regardless of the screen size.

• Angular: Angular is one of the most popular and powerful JavaScript application frameworks. Since its launch, Wijmo has gone hand-in-hand with Angular to offer the latest features you need to build dynamic, responsive, and high-performance web applications with ease.

• Other frameworks: Not just Angular, Wijmo interop modules are available for other JavaScript frameworks as well such as React, Vue, Next, and more. With these interop modules, Wijmo provides enough flexibility to developers to choose from the broad range of development environments.

• Bootstrap: Bootstrap is one of the most popular CSS frameworks that helps create responsive and visually consistent web applications. Wijmo seamlessly supports BootStrap to ensure easy integration and cohesive look of web applications. Wijmo samples and online documentation are clear examples of the smooth blend of Wijmo controls and BootStrap framework.
