Exhibit (web editing tool)
{{primary sources|date=April 2010}}
Exhibit (part of the SIMILE Project) is a lightweight, structured-data publishing framework that allows developers to create web pages with support for sorting, filtering and rich visualizations. Oriented towards semantic web-type problems, Exhibit can be implemented by writing rich data out to HTML then configuring some CSS and JavaScript code.{{cite web|url=http://simile.mit.edu/exhibit/|title=Simile: Exhibit|accessdate=2007-06-25}}
Overview
Technically, exhibit is a collection of JavaScript files to be included in a web page. When Exhibit pages are loaded by a web browser, the JavaScript reads in one or more JSON data files and builds a local database in the memory of the machine running the browser.{{Cite web |date=2023-07-18 |title=Client-side storage - Learn web development {{!}} MDN |url=https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/Client-side_web_APIs/Client-side_storage |access-date=2023-09-20 |website=developer.mozilla.org |language=en-US}} Data can then be filtered and sorted directly in the browser without having to re-query the server. The design of the Exhibit is optimized for browsing faceted data.
The Exhibit code base is currently being developed by members of the SIMILE Project at MIT.
