Abstract
It is advantageous to use XML in developing user interfaces, since XML is independent from platforms and languages and it is easy to learn and use. The existing XML-based languages do not adopt formal model, and they are developed in ad hoc manner. Moreover, they provide limited facilities to handle user events, and combine user interface components with internal logics. In this paper, we introduce an extended MVP (EMVP) model, which is extended from MVP (Model-View-Presenter), and XUIML, which is a new XML application based on the EMVP to support user interface. XUIML provides useful methods to build user interface, including methods to describe actions on user events, data flows between objects, and internal logics. The XUIML system provides two style editors - text editor and graphic editor. It also provides two code generators. One generates Java source, and the other generate C# code from XUIML document. The XUIML graphic editor allows users to manipulate XML elements directly, and we can gain high productivity with the graphic editor.
