UI5 XML Views
Hey - Happy to ask this question to you
Can Apache Royale be extended to provide support for something like UI5 XML Views as output etc?
https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/1.36.6/docs/guide/91f292806f4d1014b6dd926db0e91070.html
So 'What if....'
You had an existing application written in MXML running as a swf and wanted to create an export of the application allowing the UI to be in SAPUI5 or UI5 based on the XML view presentation...
That a viable use case?
Stay safe

Excellent, yes I think your comments of data driven xml hit the mark, supporting alternate output type formats (pluggable, writable) could be possible with some transformations, that kind of thing - that's great. Maybe even creating support for other frameworks as mentioned (ui5) and have that be contributed back to the project - great.
Thanks! We'll check it out but that was my assumptions, thanks for confirming.
Kevin

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking.
It is possible to port an application from Flex MXML to Apache Royale MXML
and in many cases it is possible to keep much of the original code.
Depending on the objectives ( from the range of : minimal changes, closest
to original code to : more changes to the code/mxml with 'modernization' of
the UI) you could use different component sets from Royale that best match
the objectives (e.g. MXRoyale for minimal changes, Jewel for
'modernization').
If you want to create XML data-driven UI, then that could also be possible
(in the same way it could be possible in Flex), but very likely requires a
new custom code to support that. If the question is : do we support those
UI formats already, then no, at least not via anything that I am aware of.
If there is a Flex library that already does that, then it could probably
be ported to Royale.
Does that answer your questions?
