UIML User Interface Markup Language is an XML based user interface markup language for defining user interface s on computers. Basically UIML tries to reduce the work needed to develop user interfaces. It allows you to describe the user interface in declarative terms i.e. as text and abstract it. Abstracting means that you don t exactly specify how the user interface is going to look, but rather what elements are to be shown, and how should they behave. For example, to describe a message window, you could write source lang xml part class DialogMessage name HelloWorld source In theory then you could use that description to generate user interfaces for different platforms, like Personal Digital Assistant PDA s. In practice, the different capabilities of those different platforms make a complete translation difficult. Other less ambitious domain specific programming language s attempt only to describe the user interfaces or other parts of the application or process in a domain for example Windows . See for example the Microsoft language Extensible Application Markup Language XAML . These languages do a better job usually, but are less flexible. Today, UIML is being standardized by OASIS organization OASIS . ref cite web url http www.uiml.org title UIML.org accessdate 2006 07 21 ref A separate effort with the same goals as UIML is UsiXML . ref cite web url http www.usixml.org title UsiXML.org accessdate 2007 01 21 ref UIML implementations http sourceforge.net projects juiml jUIML &ndash An implementation in Java programming language Java Swing Java Swing http research.edm.uhasselt.be uiml wiki Main Page UIML.Net A free UIML renderer written in C .

UsiXML USer Interface eXtensible Markup Language is an Extensible Markup Language XML based markup language for defining user interface s on computers. UsiXML is a specification language for user interface design. It allows the designer to describe a user interface at different levels of abstraction. In other words you can specify a UI in terms of functionality task analysis , object it manipulates, or, in a more concrete way, you can draw user interfaces. The UsiXML language is currently being submitted for a standardisation plan to the World Wide Web Consortium W3C . Another work with the same purpose is UIML . ref cite web url http www.uiml.org title UIML.org accessdate 2006 07 21 ref Tool support There are plenty of tools that can be found for UsiXML. ref cite web url http www.usixml.org title UsiXML.org accessdate 2007 01 21 ref They include a translator from UsiXML specification to Flash FlashiXML , a tool for drawing sketching user interfaces SketchiXML , a tool for task analysis idealXML .

refimprove date July 2008 Infobox file format name MXML extension .mxml mime application mxml xml? owner Adobe Systems released March 2004 genre User interface markup language extended from XML MXML is an XML based user interface markup language first introduced by Macromedia in March 2004. Application developers use MXML in combination with ActionScript to develop rich Internet application s, with products such as Adobe Flex . Adobe Systems , which acquired Macromedia in December 2005, gives no official meaning for the acronym MXML. Some developers suggest it should stand for Magic eXtensible Markup Language which is a backronym . It is likely that the name comes from the MX suffix given to Macromedia Studio products released in 2002 and 2004, or simply Macromedia eXtensible Markup Language . MXML is used mainly to declaratively lay out the interface of applications and can also be used to implement business logic and internet application behaviors. It can contain chunks of ActionScript code, either when creating the body of an event handler function, or with data binding where the curly braces syntax is used. MXML is often used with Flex Server, which dynamically compiles it into standard binary SWF files. However, the Adobe Flash Builder IDE formerly Adobe Flex Builder and free Flex SDK can also compile MXML into SWF files without the use of a Flex Server. There is also a PHP PHP Extension and Application Repository PEAR package called http pear.php.net package XML MXML XML MXML , which is a framework to build Adobe Flex applications. MXML is considered a proprietary standard due to its tight integration with Adobe technologies. It is like Extensible Application Markup Language XAML in this respect. No published translators exist for converting an MXML document to another user interface language such as UIML , XUL , XForms , Extensible Application Markup Language XAML , or Scalable Vector Graphics SVG . However, there do exist third party vendor plugins for Flex& ... more details
