Dojo Offline Tookit

Dojo Offline Toolkit (DOT) was ahead of Google in releasing a small download to enable web applications to work offline.

Initially DOT provided a web proxy that will be running in your machine. The UI resources will be cached locally by the proxy server. And to store the data DOT had 3 storage options: 1) Flash storage 2) SQLLite storage 3) File Storage provider.

Apart from the storage/cache options Dojo Offline Toolkit offered few utilities like: Dojo Offline Widgets (offline UI), Options to check the network availability etc.

Subsequent to the release of Google Gears, DOT was quick to move over Gears. You could find some interesting stuffs like Encrypt/Decrypt options, function to scan a page and identify the resources for offline etc.
