User Interface Description Language

This project aims to create a scriptable, JavaScript based language for expressing complex user interfaces. The aim is to develop a universal client which will display UIDL pages with the same ease with which HTML pages are displayed. The main features of a UIDL page are the ability to create complex user interfaces (using Swing based widgets) and to communicate asynchronously with server based objects (using the JSON-RPC protocol). Whilst this may sound similar to AJAX, the implementation is much cleaner thanks to the ability to natively instantiate complex UI components within the browser and the ability to transparently present server based objects via their JavaScript proxies. The motivation for this project comes from the realisation that the (HTML) browser model was developed for document presentation rather than as a GUI for complex applications. Most web application developers resort to hacks and are required to have knowledge of many different techno
