I / Function

JavaScript UI framework for responsive web applications with reusable controls and JSON, XML, and OData data binding.

OpenUI5 provides JavaScript controls and client-side HTML5 rendering for building responsive web applications. Developers bind interfaces to JSON, XML or OData models and use the SDK, API reference and example applications when assembling screens. The runtime can be downloaded, while UI5 CLI manages framework dependencies and creates optimized application, component and library packages.
