Today Ext.NET announced support of ASP.NET Core with a completely rearchitectured engine optimized for high load and better performance.

I was a big supporter of what the Ext.net engineers do, and in a way I still do. Their tech is very professional and stable.

I stopped using them right after the price hike. IMHO, it is overpriced. Since I can get most of the same stuff done with other frameworks and mostly for free.

Nevertheless, their work on https://bridge.net/ is awesome.

Cool. Thanks for the excellent feedback! Bridge was so much fun to build. Hopefully, we'll get to take another big crack at the project again.

Can anyone explain what EXT.NET is/does? On the product page it doesn’t describe itself.

Did you used it? What was the experience? Etc

It is a UI Widget Library for the Web. It helps with RAD style development.

I find providing official titles for things including words such as "legacy", "modern", and "classic" is a little folly since whatever you call "modern" becomes legacy or classic sooner than you might imagine.

This looks identical to the Sencha products [0]. Especially, their ExtJs framework [1].

Both the name and even their examples [2] look practically like copies. Although, ExtJs does seem more fleshed out and way more full fledged [3]. They seem to have bindings with other frameworks too, like React and Angular [4].

The ExtJs framework started as an open source project ages ago. Is this some kind of a fork from then?

They seem to be related, there's a FAQ entry that mentions Sencha Ext JS.

Ext.NET includes Ext JS (currently, v7.1.0) as its client-side component UI. The new Ext.NET 7.0 release provides 100% coverage of all Sencha Ext JS components to use in ASP.NET Core apps, such as Razor Pages or MVC.

Release info: https://ext.net/download/#version

And this is why Ext.Net is so expensive. Sencha is the one who decided to hike the price.
