Elide

https://github.com/yahoo/elide/pull/814/files#diff-3717173be21abf065cfac27e5ebb491e I just notice that primitive types are not supported in this patch, do we want to make another patch for it or we should suggest users to use Object class?

Hi guys, we are evaluating this project and crnk, what you would tell someone to convince him to choose elide and not crnk ? Which are the pro and cons ?

I don't use CRNK so that is an important caveat.

As far as JSON-API, a lot of the features in CRNK that are experimental have been in Elide for a long time.

Elide has been used in production for 5 years in a number of companies and that usage/community continues to grow.

Elide is also backed by a major tech company - and I can tell you that we have big plans down the road for some really interesting features

Probably the most notable difference right now is that Elide also supports graphQL

I've often thought about writing something that compares and contrasts the two and explains why we support both.

They both have their unique strengths.

I don't want to discourage you from using CRNK though. As I said before, I don't use it - and I'm probably not the best person to give an accurate comparison of the frameworks.

We are actively working on Elide 5 right now

One of the big changes is that in addition to CRUD, we are going to allow Elide to do analytic style queries against any SQL database.

And we plan on leveraging the CRUD and analytics capabilities to pair Elide with some really powerful UI experiences that will also be open source.

If you do go with CRNK though, I would love to know what you liked better

@aklish

thank you for your reply, can you please tell me which are the feature are sperimental in crnk and elide has from long time? Thank you again

Bulk edits, hierarchical paths. I don't remember the others. You can search the docs for experimental.
