Complete Framework for HTML5 apps

Complete Framework
for HTML5 apps

Kendo UI provides everything you need for building modern, interactive, JavaScript applications. It delivers a rich framework for client-side data binding, templating, animation, and drag-and-drop actions. Don't waste time trying to assemble a bevy of jQuery Plugins. Kendo UI delivers a seamless, professionally tested and supported HTML5 toolbox for every project.

Ready for
Touch Devices

Out-of-the-box, Kendo UI is ready for touch. All Kendo UI widgets provide full support for touchscreen devices, such as the iPad, so that you can use one set of tools to reach a wide array of browsers. Even Kendo UI’s drag-and-drop framework is touch-enabled, eliminating the need for you to duplicate code just to handle mouse and touchscreen inputs.

Really fast JavaScript

Kendo UI is not another jQuery UI clone. Every aspect of Kendo UI has been built from the ground-up to deliver maximum JavaScript app performance. From a lightweight, built-in templating library that performs significantly faster than jQuery Templates, to optimized animations that leverage CSS3 hardware acceleration*, and advanced UI virtualization, Kendo UI leaves no stone unturned to deliver client-side UI with unmatched performance.

Broad browser support
(even the old ones)

A world with only HTML5-enabled browsers can't come soon enough. Until then, you need tools that minimize the pain of supporting dated browsers. Kendo UI uses a mix of techniques to enable some HTML5 features in older browsers, and finely-tuned graceful degradation for others. Kendo UI is designed to support all major browsers, including: Internet Explorer 7+, Firefox ESR, Chrome, Safari 4+, and Opera 10+.

Manage rich views
and models the MVVM Way

Kendo UI provides a high-performance Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) framework, which allows developers manage complex HTML and JavaScript UI with declarative bindings and two-way syncing between applications views and models. MVVM automatically manages synchronization without manual effort on your part.

ThemeBuilder

ThemeBuilder is a powerful visual tool for quickly customizing the look-and-feel of Kendo UI widgets. Using a simple point-and-click configuration wizard, anyone can transform Kendo UI CSS to precisely match their site stylesheet. ThemeBuilder can also be used to directly modify the styles of Kendo UI widgets as they exist in your sites and apps with an easy to use bookmarklet.Try it now!
