Round Table Discussion on Cross Platform - WeexConf 2018

[Jonathan Dong <jo...@outlook.com>]

Hi guys,

This is the summary of the round table talk on WeexConf 2018 about the topic of cross platform.

We’ve discussed 3 topics related with cross platform:

1. System Level Support
It is heard that Xiaomi & Huawei are investigating Weex and try to support Weex from system level, we took it as a very good way to prompt the Weex performance and integration with the system capabilities. With this developers can easily develop their applications on the supported mobile platform using Weex supported DSLs. If developers from mobile manufacture companies it is warmly welcome to give your feedback.

2. Mini Program
As the Mini program paradigm of WeChat has boomed during the past year, it is also a good way to support WeChat mini program DSL within Weex to make the mini programs compatible for Weex platform. Leveraging the mini program ecosystem will definitely helps Weex to achieve the goal of cross platform.

3. HTML5 Fallback Compatibility
The basis for Weex cross platform capability is to support Weex DSL on web. Today the challenges include the performance on web is not so good comparing with the contents purely written for browsers; and the CSS support is not as good as the abilities browsers can provide. The next main targets should be enhancing the performance of weex-vue-render and Rax, as well as providing enough attributes and methods to support CSS3 as much as possible.

Any thoughts? discussions are welcomed.

Cheers,

Jonathan

"HTML5 Fallback Compatibility” sounds interesting to me.  As Weex is an cross-platform framework and mainly for native,  the abilities of Web are always limited and regarded as "demotion” strategy, I suppose we could do some inversion from now, treat Web as "first-class citizen”，so we can gain a lot of abilities and developing efficiency,  and use native as a enhancement.


Thanks.
