Pros of Gantt (frappe)

• Lightweight and simple to use
• Open-source with MIT license
• Built with SVG, making it highly customizable

Cons of Gantt (frappe)

• Limited features compared to DHTMLX Gantt
• Less extensive documentation and community support
• Fewer built-in integrations with other tools

Code Comparison

Gantt (frappe):

var tasks = [
  {
    id: 'Task 1',
    name: 'Redesign website',
    start: '2016-12-28',
    end: '2016-12-31',
    progress: 20,
    dependencies: 'Task 2, Task 3'
  },
  // ...
]
var gantt = new Gantt("#gantt", tasks);

DHTMLX Gantt:

gantt.init("gantt_here");
gantt.parse({
  data: [
    { id: 1, text: "Project #1", start_date: "01-04-2023", duration: 18 },
    { id: 2, text: "Task #1", start_date: "02-04-2023", duration: 8, parent: 1 },
    // ...
  ]
});

Both libraries offer easy initialization and task definition, but DHTMLX Gantt provides more advanced features and configuration options out of the box. Gantt (frappe) focuses on simplicity and ease of use, while DHTMLX Gantt offers a more comprehensive solution for complex project management needs.

Pros of gantt-schedule-timeline-calendar

• More flexible and customizable, allowing for greater control over the appearance and behavior of the Gantt chart
• Supports multiple views (timeline, calendar, resource) out of the box
• Offers a more modern and responsive user interface

Cons of gantt-schedule-timeline-calendar

• Less mature and potentially less stable compared to DHTMLX Gantt
• Smaller community and fewer resources available for support and troubleshooting
• May require more setup and configuration to achieve desired functionality

Code Comparison

gantt-schedule-timeline-calendar

import { GSTCResult } from 'gantt-schedule-timeline-calendar';
const gstc = GSTCResult({
  element: document.getElementById('gstc'),
  items: [...],
  columns: [...],
});

DHTMLX Gantt

gantt.init("gantt_here");
gantt.parse({
  data: [...],
  links: [...]
});

Both libraries offer straightforward initialization, but gantt-schedule-timeline-calendar provides a more modern, modular approach. DHTMLX Gantt has a simpler setup process, which may be preferable for quick implementations. The choice between the two depends on specific project requirements, desired customization level, and development team preferences.

Pros of jQueryGantt

• Open-source and free to use, making it accessible for all projects
• Lightweight and easy to integrate into existing jQuery-based applications
• Supports exporting to PDF and PNG formats

Cons of jQueryGantt

• Less frequent updates and maintenance compared to gantt
• Limited documentation and community support
• Fewer built-in features and customization options

Code Comparison

gantt:

gantt.init("gantt_here");
gantt.parse({
  data: [
    { id: 1, text: "Task 1", start_date: "2023-05-01", duration: 5 },
    { id: 2, text: "Task 2", start_date: "2023-05-06", duration: 3 }
  ]
});

jQueryGantt:

$("#ganttChart").gantt({
  source: [
    { name: "Task 1", desc: "", values: [{ from: "/Date(1682899200000)/", to: "/Date(1683331200000)/", label: "Task 1", customClass: "ganttRed" }] },
    { name: "Task 2", desc: "", values: [{ from: "/Date(1683331200000)/", to: "/Date(1683590400000)/", label: "Task 2", customClass: "ganttBlue" }] }
  ]
});

Both libraries offer Gantt chart functionality, but gantt provides a more comprehensive and actively maintained solution with extensive documentation and features. jQueryGantt is a simpler, lightweight alternative that may be suitable for smaller projects or those already using jQuery.

Pros of tui.calendar

• More versatile with multiple calendar views (daily, weekly, monthly)
• Extensive theming and customization options
• Better support for recurring events

Cons of tui.calendar

• Steeper learning curve due to more complex API
• Larger file size, potentially impacting load times
• Less focus on Gantt-specific features

Code Comparison

tui.calendar:

import Calendar from '@toast-ui/calendar';

const calendar = new Calendar('#calendar', {
  defaultView: 'week',
  template: {
    time: function(schedule) {
      return moment(schedule.start.getTime()).format('HH:mm');
    }
  }
});

gantt:

gantt.init("gantt_here");
gantt.parse({
  data: [
    {id: 1, text: "Task #1", start_date: "2023-03-15", duration: 3, progress: 0.6},
    {id: 2, text: "Task #2", start_date: "2023-03-18", duration: 3, progress: 0.4}
  ]
});

tui.calendar offers more flexibility for various calendar views and customization, making it suitable for diverse scheduling needs. However, it may be overkill for projects primarily focused on Gantt charts. gantt provides a more straightforward API for Gantt-specific functionality, making it easier to implement and potentially more performant for Gantt-centric applications.
