XB Software, a developer of high-quality web applications, announces the release of Webix, a powerful cross-browser JavaScript UI library for building responsive HTML 5-based web apps.

It provides a wide range of feature rich JavaScript UI widgets ranging from simple widgets, like a menu or combobox, to highly interactive charts and powerful data tables.
All Webix widgets are compatible with the latest web browsers allowing developers to create web apps that work in Internet Explorer 8+, Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox and Opera.

It’s also possible to use Server Side Connectors (for PHP, Java, ASP.NET) that allow the creation of fully functional data feeds in a few lines of code. In addition, developers are capable of using any server-side technology at backend, which can expose RESTfull api for data loading and data saving.
