The core of Entity is +actually an engine that allows you to create objects out of XML by supplying +methods for creation, attribute-setting, and destruction of XML nodes in a +tree. + +This design allows you to create tags in XML which can be used to represent +pretty much any object. We have used this to create a set of tags for the GTK+ +toolkit, allowing you to create graphical applications using XML, and an +embedded scripting language. + +Any scripting language supported by Entity can be used to change the XML tree +during runtime, and the changes are immediately reflected in the rendered +representation of the XML. Using XML for the user interface, data storage, and +code of an application allows you to easily implement configuration, saving, +and undo. + +The interface for creating UIs and programming in Entity is quite intuitive and +allows for rapid application development. Entity currently supports Perl, +Python, and C for doing runtime XML creation and modification. + +WWW: http://entity.evilplan.org + +- filbert +jesse@cylant.com |
