Metawidget takes your domain objects and automatically creates User Interface components for them, saving you handcoding your UIs and leaving you to concentrate on stitching together your application.
As much as possible, Metawidget does this without introducing new technologies. It inspects, at runtime, an application's existing back-end architecture (such as JavaBeans, annotations, XML configuration files) and creates components native to its existing front-end framework (such as Swing, Java Server Faces, Struts or Android).
Metawidget does not hide the power of your existing User Interface framework from you and guarantees that your investment in its technology and knowledge is as valid as always. The LGPL open source license allows the use of Metawidget in open source and commercial projects.
Overview
Vexi is a platform for creating and publishing Graphical User Interfaces that can be used over the Internet or an intranet. It features a very simple and powerful syntax based on xml and javascript, a set of complete, extensible, themable widgets, and a sandbox-like security model to protect users.
Why Vexi?
Vexi is designed to overcome the flaws of other Internet application platform implementations.
Vexi applications are written in a combination of XML and JavaScript. The XML layout makes UI structure simple to understand, and the JavaScript provides a powerful way of manipulating a UI to make it dynamic. Do not confuse JavaScript with the HTML DOM - the latter gives JavaScript a bad name because of it’s over complicated nature. JavaScript is very easy to understand and work with. And whilst XML is a far reaching standard, the context in which it is put into practise with Vexi makes it very easy to understand and work with.
