UNIVERSAL APPLICATION FRAMEWORK FOR STREAMLINED FRONTEND DEVELOPMENT OF USER INTERFACE APPLICATIONS

摘要

A universal application framework enables efficient user purposeful interface (UI) application development with a novel perspective editor which itself can be an UI application. The perspective editor can be utilized to create perspectives, each of which can be specific to a purpose. UI applications thus developed can be mapped to the same target mapping which points to a technical application component of a frontend server of the universal application framework. The technical application component can provide action and navigation information for a part of the UI applications not specific to any purpose. A perspective is bound to logical entities such as a node representing rows from a table. The perspective can have a perspective type and a data view of the rows from the table in a layout. The perspective type controls which data view is usable in the perspective.
