An AJAX framework for developing pure AJAX applications like gmail or google maps. Development of your application is kept in logical order, i.e. HTML for page content, CSS for your website style and JavaScript for your website’s functionality. The framework handles compiling your entire website into a single static JavaScript file that can be easily versioned and served from any web server.

Included in the source code is Class.js a light-weight Object Orientated JavaScript wrapper that lets you declare objects like this:

function Animal(firstName, lastName)
{
    Animal.$baseNew.call(this);

    this.firstName = firstName;
    this.lastName = lastName;
}
p = Animal.extend(Class, { type: 'Animal' });

//Declare your objects members in any 1 of 3 ways:
//1. Shortened proto, by using the returned prototype as an alias: 
p.hello = function(text)
{
    return "hellooo: " + text;
}

//2. Explicitly, by using your classes prototype
Animal.prototype.getFullName = function()
{
    return this.firstName + " " + this.lastName;
}


function Cat(catType, firstName, lastName)
{
    Cat.$baseNew.call(this, firstName, lastName);

    this.catType = catType;
}
Cat.extend(Animal, { type: 'Cat' }, {
    //3. like this
    hello: function(text)
    {
        return "meaoow: " + text;
    },
    getFullName: function()
    {
        return this.catType + ": " + Cat.$base.getFullName.call(this);
    }
});

Declaring instances of your classes is as straight forward as:

var animal = new Animal("Mr", "Animale");
var cat = new Cat("ginger", "kitty", "kat");

Which gives the following output:

Suggestions for improvements are welcome.
