mobl **AWOL**

Last Updated on August 15, 2018

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
