Polymer as an alternative to Dojo for the Trigger Online Software

tag and JavaScript: This has been serving the project for quite some time, but some issues have been identified: • The Dojo library is very outdated (v0.4, 9 years old) and no longer maintained: • the risk of non-compatibility between the current TS GUIs and the browsers is very high, regardless whether they are used at the CMS control room or for development in general, • browsers are starting to put up deprecation notices for old Dojo code. Hence, TS GUIs are at risk of losing support for newer browsers as time passes. • Current C++ code is quite messy. Widgets can be defined, but the general layout of a page still needs to be generated in C++. • Mixing CSS, JavaScript, and HTML into C++ makes code difficult to read and maintain and invites bad practices Therefore an alternative was proposed. Known as the Polymer library. It gives access to new technologies and allows for a seamless transition as old code keeps working.
