JSGUI

A GUI Framework written in JS and using the <canvas> element

A little project I have began working on for about a month is a GUI framework written in JS that uses the <canvas> element. The goal is to create an easy-to-use and flexible framework from which site developers can easily create very rich user interfaces for their web apps. Another goal of the framework is to make it similar to another well known framework: Swing for Java.

It's in its infancy now, but will probably be somewhat usable by late 2008. I will probably release it under some open source license sometime in the future. For now though, enjoy some dev screenshots:
