UIML (User Interface Markup Language) is anXML-basedmarkup language used to defineuser interfaces on computers. The primary purpose of UIML is to streamline the process of developing user interfaces, enabling programmers to describe their interfaces indeclarative terms (i.e., as text) andabstract them. For instance, when describing a message window, a programmer using this language could write:
<partclass="DialogMessage"name="HelloWorld"/>
In theory, a programmer could use a description to create user interfaces for various platforms.[1] Though, in practice, these platforms present challenges for comprehensive translation.
Currently, UIML is undergoing standardization byOASIS, with the latest iteration being UIML 4.0, which was released in 2008.[2][3] A parallel effort with similar objectives to UIML isUsiXML.[4]
