Google Web Toolkit vs Haxelib

Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is a free, open-source Java framework for building AJAX web applications. Its compiler converts Java applications into JavaScript and HTML for browser use, and the SDK includes the core libraries and compiler. Deferred binding generates browser-specific code at compile time, while the compiler can create separate application versions for different browsers and languages. Applications can communicate asynchronously with servers through GWT RPC or JSON. An Eclipse plugin provides IDE support and an option to install the SDK. The developer guide covers deployment to Google App Engine, JUnit unit testing and Emma code coverage; documentation also includes SafeHtml guidance for XSS prevention and GWT RPC XSRF protection. GWT is licensed under Apache 2.0 for non-commercial, commercial and enterprise applications. Version 2.13.1 is listed for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Development mode and the compiler periodically send a timestamp ID and product version to Google; Google says it does not log cookies or personal information. The webAppCreator utility has been deprecated since version 2.11.0.

Haxelib is the library manager included with Haxe distributions. It connects to a central repository for finding, installing, and sharing Haxe libraries on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with API access. The command line installs the latest release or a specified version, resolves dependencies from HXML files, and supports offline installation. Search matches project names or descriptions, while the info command displays ownership, licensing, descriptions, websites, tags, versions, and release notes. Developers can submit ZIP archives or directories, use Git or Mercurial repositories, and create local repositories from project files. Installed libraries can be exposed to the Haxe compiler with --library or -L. Haxelib can use an HTTP proxy or a custom server. Libraries are distributed as source by default. The public HaxeFoundation repository is MIT licensed, and community links include GitHub, bug reports, Stack Overflow, forums, Discord, and Gitter. All libraries are free.
