Abstract
A method, system, architecture and apparatus for unified markup language processing. A unified markup language processing and distribution system includes a unified language markup parser configured to produce both a layout model and an execution model based upon content defined by a unified markup language. A layout engine may be included that is programmed to process the layout models produced by the parser to generate corresponding user interfaces for an application defined by the content. An execution engine may be programmed to process execution models produced by the parser to generate corresponding logic for the application defined by the content.
Claims15
A unified markup language processing and distribution system, said system comprising:
- a computer system with processor and memory;
- a unified language markup parser executing in the memory by the processor of the computer system and configured to produce both a layout model and an execution model based upon content defined by a unified markup language;
- a layout engine coupled to the parser in the memory and programmed to process layout models produced by said parser to generate corresponding user interfaces for an application defined by said content;
- and
- an execution engine coupled to the parser in the memory programmed to process execution models produced by said parser to generate corresponding logic for said application defined by said content.
A computer-implemented method for processing and distributing unified markup language documents, said method comprising the steps of:
- parsing a unified markup language document to identify both presentation layer components and logic layer components;
- writing separate layout and execution models corresponding to said identified presentation and logic layer components, respectively;
- generating a user interface based upon said layout model;
- and
- distributing said user interface about a computer communications network.
A machine readable storage having stored thereon a computer program for processing and distributing unified markup language documents, the computer program comprising a routine set of instructions which when executed by a machine cause the machine to perform the steps of:
- parsing a unified markup language document to identify both presentation layer components and logic layer components;
- writing separate layout and execution models corresponding to said identified presentation and logic layer components, respectively;
- generating a user interface based upon said layout model;
- and
- distributing said user interface about a computer communications network.
