CRM 2016 - what JS Framework should I use?

Question

Sign in to vote

Hello everyone,

We have been using XrmSvcToolkit in our Onpremise 2011 instance, and have a lot of JS that targets it, and have been very happy with it.

Now we are doing a migration to CRM 2016 Onpremise (separate server; rebuilding from scratch and importing all the data) and we are wondering...

Should continue with XrmSvcToolkit, or switch to XrmServiceToolkit or perhaps some other framework?

I would be interested in any feedback/input that people can give me.

thanks in Advance!

well,

both are not updated to the new Web API introduced with CRM 2016, maybe you can consider switching to a library that support the Web API, like this one:

or this one

Guido,

Those look very interesting, but how do I know those will be supported and enhanced for the next 10 years?

you don't have that guarantee also with the other two libraries you mentioned. What I can tell you is that the old REST 2011 endpoint will be removed from the next major CRM release, because with CRM 2016 is on deprecated state (means that still works but suggested to don't use anymore)

Anyone else have an opinion about which JavaScript framework is the best pick at the moment?
