New great way to build a rich website!
XIML (ximl.com) is a new technology allowing fast and easy creation of rich interactive interfaces for websites and web applications.
XIML (extensible interactive markup language) is a XML-based language that is very simple and intuitive and is easy to learn, use, and manage.
The display engine that renders XIML implemented in Flash and has all the advantages and flexibility of Flash-based application.
XIML “site” be used as a fullsize website or just for embedding interactive “images” in HTML as in this example: http://ximl.com/ex.php
XIML is extremely powerful technology, has many unique features and advantages over existing technologies.
Its flexible to allow implementation of any design and layout.
Yet its very simple to learn and use and provides the user with convenient, easy-to-use work tools for design.
XIML can be used online (website, web application, mobile application), offline (desktop application), for touch screens, big screens, and much more.
It is very easy to deploy – no special software needs to be installed on the server.
XIML is easy to learn and use and can be used by anyone – professionals or novice webmasters, designers, and developers.
It is much faster and easier to develop interfaces with XIML.
This technology allows for much better results, with shorter learning and development time.
Innovations
There are many features of XIML that don’t exist in other current technologies.
Very advanced and flexible positioning allows for great precision in placing the elements. Also, the elements are rearranged when the window is resized.
There is a strong separation between the data/content and the design/graphical elements/behaviour.
Multiple data files supported, allowing to combine content from multiple sources/databases.
One XML tag fully describes each element on the screen, allowing properties to be easily changed.
Entire website / interface is described in a single configuration file.
Few in and out transitions of elements are available.
Plugins are supported (SWF movie clips).
Many other great advantages described in Features page.
Development Status
The engine that used to render XIML interfaces is in production state and already deployed in few commercial applications.
This website with description, developers reference, etc is in early development stage – much more information will be here soon…
You can already create a XIML site and try this new technology. At this stage we recommend to view source files of other projects to learn the language features.
Developers forum as available to answer your questions.
