Exhibit is a lightweight structured data publishing framework that lets you create web pages with support for sorting, filtering, and rich visualizations by writing only HTML and optionally some CSS and Javascript code . The exhibit code base is currently being developed by members of the Simile Project at MIT. Exhibit consists of a bunch of Javascript files that an author includes in his or her web page. At load time, this Javascript code reads in one or more JSON data files that the author links from within his or her web page and constructs a database implemented in Javascript right inside the browser of anyone who visits his or her web page. It then dynamically re-constructs the web page as the visitor sorts and filters through the data. As the visitor interacts with the web page, only the web browser is responsible for providing the interaction; the web server is no longer needed . Documentation and tutorials are available through the Exhibit Wiki. less
