We all know that we don't always receive data in the format in which we want it to be displayed. Ext JS provides many different components specifically for address such issues. First among these is the Format object in the Ext.util package, which gives us a wide variety of functions for everything from creating the US currency format for a number to methods for stripping scripts and HTML from strings. The Ext JS library also extends several native JavaScript objects and provides us with additional methods for manipulating them. Specifically, the String, Number, and Date objects have all been extended. You can now strip off unnecessary whitespace, constrain numbers to a minimum and maximum value, and even create Date objects from a variety of format options.

Overview of this book
<p>As more and more of our work is done through a web browser, and more businesses build web rather than desktop applications, users want web applications that look and feel like desktop applications. Ext JS is a JavaScript library that makes it (relatively) easy to create desktop-style user interfaces in a web application, including multiple windows, toolbars, drop-down menus, dialog boxes, and much more. Both Commercial and Open Source licenses are available for Ext JS.<br /><br />Ext JS has the unique advantage of being the only client-side UI library that also works as an application development library. Learning Ext JS will help you create rich, dynamic, and AJAX-enabled web applications that look good and perform beyond the expectations of your users.<br /><br />From the building blocks of the application layout, to complex dynamic Grids and Forms, this book will guide you through the basics of using Ext JS, giving you the knowledge required to create rich user experiences beyond typical web interfaces. It will also provide you with the tools you need to use AJAX, by consuming server-side data directly into the many interfaces of the Ext JS component library.</p>
