Form-engine.com XML forms integrated a specially designed web application development technology for dynamic database web applications. This technology allows application developers to produce and maintain high-quality dynamic web sites.
The source code for the applications is stored as a XML definition. The XML defines the page layouts, database queries and the navigation logic required to connect the pages.
The major difference between Form-engine.com XML forms technology and standard approaches to web page programming (CGI, ASP, JSP, etc) lies in the way the pages are generated. Usually web pages are generated by parameterization of predefined HTML templates. With Form-engine.com technology pages are dynamically generated based on the database data and the page layout spec stored in XML.
Form-engine.com XML forms technology comes with a visual development tool called FrontSQL Form, an integrated authoring environment for database-centric web applications. FrontSQL Form includes visual SQL builder and an integrated interactive SQL console.
With FrontSQL Form, you can also manage the parts of the web applications that reside on the server as files (including images, sound files, etc).
One of the unique features of Form-engine.com XML forms technology is build on Ms SQL Unicode, ability to handle multi-language sites easy. Since the pages are always generated dynamically it is very natural to change the language of the application on the fly.
