A solid base.

Like every Ajax toolkit, Dojo gives you a rich set of utilities for building responsive applications.

Refined by design.

The Dojo Core is the result of years of evolution and refinement. Built by JavaScript experts, Dojo distills what you really need into a single package that starts small and lets you scale up transparently.

Grow your applications.

As your application grows, Dojo's component-based approach lets you optimize easily, collaborate more fluidly, and prototype more quickly.

No more cobbling scripts together.

Best of all, the rest of the powerful modules in the Dojo Core, Dijit, and DojoX are just a require() statement away. No more hunting for plugins or cobbling scripts together. It's all right here.

Ajax–and then some.

Getting data in the background is tremendously important to building responsive applications, but as applications get larger in scope and more immersive in feel it becomes clear that raw Ajax alone won't cut it. That's why the Dojo Core gives you one of the most highly acclaimed Ajax interfaces around.

From RPC to back button handling.

The Dojo Core provides RPC (Remote Procedure Call) modules to reduce Ajax programming complexity, and back-button handling to help prevent users from losing work.

Deliver amazing experiences.

From working prototype to production system, Dojo has got what you need to deliver amazing experiences.

Parlez-vous Dojo? Sprichst Du Dojo? ¿Hablas Dojo?

Internationalization is built right into the Dojo Core. With localizations for over a dozen languages as well as date, currency, and number formatting in hundreds of locales, the Dojo Core gives you reach, not just richness.

Speak any language.

Write JavaScript that communicates to the user in their own language—Dojo gives you the tools. Included is cultural support for entities in over 100 languages! And languages written right-to-left–such as Hebrew and Arabic–are supported out of the box.

Test it, build it, optimize it, shrink it.

Your code is what gives your application life, not ours. We get it. That's why Dojo gives you tools to help you in all phases of development and deployment.

Ensure stability with unit testing.

Dojo comes bundled with a powerful unit test harness that makes writing tests easy and running them as simple as loading a page in your browser.

Optimize your application–your way.

Tools like the Dojo build system let you optimize your entire application, not just the parts you get from Dojo. Use ours or roll your own, Dojo's tools support you all the way, either way.
