    Yes

    if it exists do extjs has serverside javascript ?

    ExtJS is a UI library, it doesn't do anything that would be all that useful server side.

    You might be able to get some use out of it (little bits of it) in a similar fashion to this approach used to use YUI on the server: http://www.yuiblog.com/blog/2010/04/05/running-yui-3-server-side-with-node-js/
