NML- Neft Marked Language - Simple language used to describe styles, bindings and animations with native controls.
What Neft does?
- Runs your JavaScript code on different platfoms.
- Renders basic elements and native views through extensions.
- Supports communication with native code.
- Allows to write component-based views in XML and JavaScript.
- Provides styling engine.
What Neft does NOT?
- Supports browser APIs. Neft is not a browser.
- Understands CSS. Neft has his own styling engine. CSS is too complex to implement on all native platforms. Instead you have more dynamic language but with less functionalities.
Everywhere
- Node >= 0.11.14,
- Browsers (HTML5 or WebGL) IE >= 10,
- Android >= 4.0.0,
- iOS >= 8.0.
Why Neft?
One code for all
Share code between a truly native application, website and a server. Neft uses high-level abstraction easily portable between different platforms.
Virtual DOM
DOM model powers native apps and websites in a better logic abstraction. Neft also renders on a server.
Abstract styles
CSS alternative for more dynamic and cross-platform apps. Automatically synchronized with DOM. With native elements.
