Breakthrough VirtualRendering™ technology
VirtualRendering™ is Intersoft’s state-of-the-art client rendering framework which
enables WebGrid to render data rows efficiently, while at the same time delivering
identical user interface as in server-side rendering.
The uniqueness of Intersoft’s rendering technology lies in its ability to perform
rendering with very minimum overhead. This is made possible with sophisticated state
management that automatically synchronizes its current state as user interacts with
the Grid. The row is rendered based on “delta algorithm” to produce high rendering
quality in superior performance.
One of the outstanding achievements of VirtualRendering™ is its small size of the
client scripts required to activate the client binding feature. Unlike traditional
approaches which can take almost half a megabyte, WebGrid 7 adds only as little
as 60KB for data binding processing, data shaping and rendering.
The main benefit of client binding compared to the traditional server-side binding
is the smaller data footprint. When operating in client-binding mode, WebGrid returns
raw data in JSON format which is much more compact than the traditional HTML markup.
In various tested scenarios, WebGrid has been proven to reduce data footprint consistently
by over 90%.
