# haxe-ui
  • f
    also another question.. what would be the "golden" backend? openfl or kha? or are they both roughly equal in terms of capabilities and maturity?
  • f
    and how does the rendering work? is it like a classical ui.. only rendering on changes or more like a immediate mode gameloop sort of ui?
  • f
    sorry for the question bombardment
  • c
    well, that is a good question..... i'm using lime and a small engine... but having to do some reading on openfl here and there.... and openfl/lime with haxeui i know will handle what you are looking to do. I'm very sure Kha/HaxeUI will too but, i recommend looking at them both and see which you would prefer working with.
  • c
    As far as the rendering, i guess that would depend on how you want to implement it into your app. Ian is the mastermind.... i'm learning as much I can from him. This allows me to try and help others while also working on my primary app.
  • c
    what is it you are looking to create?
  • a
    it also depends on what you're looking for
  • a
    afaik Ian will have all backends up to scratch (or mostly so)
  • a
    so it's more of a question of what each backend brings to the table
  • c
    thanks Billy
  • f
    hm k thank you two. i am looking more for the rendering on change. i guess i need to look into what exactly the backend means for haxeui. i have used openfl before but kha intrigues me. so both are an option. btw this kaizen for pharma looks impressive.
  • c
    Bear with me on some of my questions, often times i need a visual painted to understand exactly what is meant.... When you say rending on change... do you mean like, live update in a way..... for instance, as soon as a hint of data is changed, the UI component in question updates to reflect it immediately?
  • f
    no what i meant is that i would not like a game loop kind of update where the view is constantly updated like 30 to 60 times a second. usually this is only a thing in game uis but since openfl and kha are primarily for games i was not sure how this is handled in haxeui
  • c
    Ah ok.... so your app is not game related as well.... so no, it does not have to be like a game loop.
  • f
    no it's about financial transfers 😄
  • f
    ok good thx
  • c
    in that case..... the just haxe and haxeui..... with the threejs of d3 ports and you should be good to go
  • c
    threejs or 3d ports
  • f
    and what is used as backend then?
  • c
    well, haxe itself and a something like threejs.... you would not need one of those graphical backends..... the graphical apis included with haxe and the rendering from threejs for example.... you would be set. And you would be able to port to whichever devices you are looking to use this on.
  • f
    hmm ok interesting.. i will inspect all of this in depth i think
  • c
    i'll look for some info/examples as well, to share with you.
  • f
    thank you very much
  • c
    here are three libs that, i think i'll have to play with as well soon....
  • c
  • c
  • c
  • c
    ok, so two libs, that second one is an updated one of the first one it appears.
  • c
    the chartjs one, looks quite handy.
  • c
    this is a more updated one for chartjs...... https://github.com/firefalcom/haxe-chart
