DHI Technologies, Inc., today announced the release of its JS-Sorcerer(TM) 2006 software product, a JavaScript development tool that allows programmers to build correct, interactive, and cross-browser compatible websites and web applications.

JS-Sorcerer performs syntax checking and type and flow analysis on standalone JavaScript files, and provides type-safe linking for applications and projects that consist of multiple JavaScript files. Errors are detected and reported at compile time, eliminating the need to invoke a browser simply to catch syntax and typographical errors. JS-Sorcerer enables developers to write cross-browser code by making use of a standard interface to ECMAScript, W3C DOM, and the XMLHttpRequest (AJAX) object. This unified interface eliminates the need to write disparate, browser-specific objects, thus shortening the development cycle.

JS-Sorcerer is available as a plug-in to the Eclipse IDE. Eclipse is an award-winning universal platform for tool integration, software modeling and testing that has been broadly adopted by commercial vendors, academic institutions, and open technology developers. JS-Sorcerer supports MyEclipse and the Eclipse Web Tools Platform.

"The increased popularity of AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) to create Web 2.0 applications such as Google Maps, Backpack and Flickr is testament to the power of the JavaScript programming language," comments Roger Franklin, CEO of DHI Technologies. "JS-Sorcerer is the first set of tools to enable developers of these interactive applications to more rapidly create reliable and maintainable web applications."

Availability and Pricing

JS-Sorcerer 2006 is now available for purchase and download on the DHI website at http://www.dhitechnologies.com/products. Licenses are sold for $199.00 and include access to a support forum and product updates for six months. A 30-day free evaluation is available.
