Mobl is the new open source and free language specially designed for speeding up the building of mobile applications. Now you can build the mobile website applications on very faster pace for operating system like android, iOS, or other phones that supports HTML5 technologies. Using the modern HTML5 technology, the mobl provides you with:

• a brief language for building native web apps in the jiff

• outstanding IDE support like code completion, type error reporting, and reference resolving

• a fast saving and testing cycle with no extended compilations. Mobl IDE stores the modules whenever you maintain, ready for testing in mobile browser.

More about Mobl

• Compiler produces static HTML and JavaScript files, all set to be distributed to whichever web host as well as to be accumulated on device, for enabling the offline website applications

• Descriptive brief DSL to define data models. The data is saved on device and no requirement of server back-end

• Descriptive DSL (Domain Specific Language) to define the user interfaces

• Easy access for present “native” JavaScript widgets and libraries

• Scripting language structure just like JavaScript

• Statically written language, allowing outstanding IDE support with as-you-type error detection, whereas reducing typing of other statically written languages requirements, using type inference

Mobl Features

Platform-based

• All the applications are mainly offline-capable as they operate without the Internet connection

• All the applications are running on the modern Webkit browsers like iOS, android, Safari, WebOS, and Chrome

• It produces 100% client-sided HTML5-related mobile website applications

• Its compiler produces CSS, HTML5, or JavaScript mobile web-based applications• No dependence on the server-based technology as mobl applications may communicate

with PHP, Django, Ruby on Rails, and other server-based technology

Data Modeling

• No SQL required: mobl evidently handles all the database accesses, it accordingly creates database schema as well as manages the object perseverance

• Queries are solved using statically restrained query language of mobl. No SQL queries are embedded into the strings

• Store data within local databases for mobile devices

Language features

• Incorporates all the aspects of the mobile web-based application in single language including user interfaces, data modeling, styling, application logic, and web services

• Statically-written language with the type inference, allowing static confirmation of the whole application as well as precise IDE features like code completion, reference resolving, and inline error reporting

Application Logic

• Statically written scripting language having JavaScript-like syntax• Synchronous coding styles accumulated to effective asynchronous JavaScript codes

User Interfaces

• Brief textual language to define the user interfaces

• Excited programming in which the user interfaces are updated automatically to reflect the changes in the application state

• Make reusable and customized control libraries

• Use of jQuery or HTML, if required

Incorporated Development Environment

• Code completion

• Compile-on-save

• Eclipse-based

• Inline error reporting

• Reference resolving

• Syntax highlighting

Web Service Access

• Approach web services through AJAX using consonant-looking interface

• Define RESTful web-based services interface declaratively

• Easily import the JSON data to the local database
