Angular Material vs jQWidgets

Angular Material is a free library of Material Design UI components for Angular applications. Add it with the Angular CLI command `ng add @angular/material`, then choose a prebuilt theme or configure a custom theme. Setup can add global typography styles, the Roboto font, and Material Symbols. Schematics generate prebuilt pieces such as navigation, tables, and address forms. The Angular CDK supplies tools for authoring custom components around common interaction patterns. The Angular Components team describes the components as accessible and internationalized, with listed screen-reader combinations spanning Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Chrome OS. Supported browsers are the most recent two versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Angular Material and the CDK follow Angular’s release and support policy. The project focuses on UI components, not application layout. Shadow DOM is not officially supported, although the team aims to keep components working there. The plan is free, with an MIT license.

jQWidgets is a JavaScript UI framework for web applications targeting desktop, touch, and mobile devices. It provides more than 60 components, including data grids, charts, schedulers, editors, tree grids, and pivot grids. The Blazor Grid supports sorting, filtering, grouping, master-detail views, paging, drag and drop, printing, data export, and aggregates. It accepts local, JSON, XML, CSV, TSV, remote JSONP, and virtual data sources. Documentation describes using the jQWidgets.Blazor package in Blazor WebAssembly applications. The Blazor Chart component is described as working across PCs, tablets, and mobile phones and rendering across browsers according to web standards. Setup and component API documentation is provided, and the maker offers technical support and customization services. The non-commercial plan costs nothing under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 License. Commercial use requires a commercial license. Responsive components are listed as supported.
