## about

aspLite is a lightweight framework for ASP/VBScript developers. It can help to develop better ASP/VBScript applications. aspLite does not reinvent, replace or rewrite ASP components. It only tries to come up with a new way of using some of them.
ASP/VBScript (also known as "classic ASP") is available for more than 20 years now and I believe it still makes sense to share this approach. After all, classic ASP has proven to be reliable, fast and secure.
But that's not all. Today's web applications use JavaScript frameworks (Angular, Vue, React, jQuery, etc). Often only data (json) is transmitted back and forth to the server. That's why a server-side technology better stays small, fast and simple. Hence the name "aspLite".
An example. The aspLite demo site ships with a (fully functional) classic ASP implementation of DataTables. This wonderful (free-to-use) widget has all it takes to offer ... datatables, including client-side sorting, searching and paging. There is only very little ASP code involved. Quite fascinating!
The vast majority of these JavaScript plugins are free to use, backed by 100's of contributors and they work in all (current) browsers, on all devices. How amazing is that?! Ever since the adoption of HTML5, CSS3 and ECMAScript 5 (somewhere between 2009 and 2012), client-side JS/CSS/HTML frameworks have become very popular. Much more popular than their server-sided predecessors (ASP(.NET), PHP, etc). Today, the most starred repositories on GitHub are all about (learning) JavaScript.
The aspLite demo puts the following front-end HTML/CSS/JS frameworks/plugins at work: Bootstrap, jQuery, jQuery UI Datepicker, JSZip, SheetJS, jsPDF, CkEditor, CodeMirror and DataTables.
