Comparison between Mate, Swiz and Robotlegs frameworks for Flex development


My company is willing to reffactor its biggest and heaviest project introducing some kind of framework. Are there good online source/issue/blogpost with comparison of these 3 frameworks - Robotlegs, Swiz and Mate?


Solution

  • I don't think a comparison is the way to go. They all have strength and weaknesses. It all comes down to what you're trying to accomplish.

    With that said, my 2 personal choices are RobotLegs and Parsley. RobotLegs is good for small to medium size application since it's easy to learn and use. Parsley is more robust and adds a lot more features than RobotLegs, which is why its been used in the world's largest flex applications. From your description, it seems this is a large project, then I would recommend Parsley, but maybe you don't need all of it's features.

    Best thing you can do is try both and see which one fits best.
