= Vaadin Widgets

Vaadin comes with a number of Vaadin-specific widgets in addition to the GWT
widgets, some of which you can use in pure client-side applications. The Vaadin
widgets have somewhat different feature set from the GWT widgets and are
foremost intended for integration with the server-side components, but some may
prove useful for client-side applications as well.
