mobl
mobl is an programming language and open-source multiple phone
web-based application framework. The programming language
is statically typed and targets mobile phones that support JavaScript
and HTML5.
mobl generates client-side HTML5-based mobile web applications
with no dependency on server-side technology. This means that
applications developed with mobl can communicate with Ruby on
Rails, Django, PHP or any other server-side technology.
Features include:
- Automatically transforms synchronous code to asynchronous
code using continuation-passing style transformation
- Reactive programming support
- Built as an Eclipse plug-in
- Compile on save. Simply make changes to your application,
save the file and reload it in the mobile browser
- Syntax similar to WebDSL and Javascript
- Generates 100% client-side
HTML5-based mobile web applications
- No dependency on server-side technology,
i.e. mobl applications can communicate with Ruby on Rails, Django, PHP
or any other server-side technology
- Compiler generates HTML5/Javascript/CSS mobile web
applications
- Applications are principally offline-capable
(operate without an Internet connection)
- Applications run on modern Webkit-based browsers, including
iOS (iPhone, iPad), Android (2.0+), WebOS, Safari and Chrome
- Statically-typed language with
type inference, enabling static
verification of entire application and accurate IDE features, including
code completion, inline error reporting and reference resolving
- Integrates all aspects of a
mobile web application into a single language: data modeling, user
interfaces, application logic, styling and web services
- Store data in local databases on the mobile device
- No more SQL: mobl transparently
handles all database access, it automatically creates the database
schema and automatically manages object persistence
- Queries are performed using mobl’s statically checked query
language. No more SQL queries embedded in strings
- Concise, textual language for defining user interfaces
- Reactive programming: user
interfaces automatically update to reflect changes in application state.
- Create custom reusable control libraries
- Fall back to HTML and jQuery, if necessary
- Statically typed scripting language with Javascript-like
syntax
- Synchronous coding style, compiled to efficient,
asynchronous Javascript code
