Development Language Features
Caede uses the Curl language for development.
The Curl language incorporates the features of languages like HTML and Java, enabling mobile application development using just the Curl language instead of requiring a mix of several like the HTML5 mix of HTML, CSS3, and JavaScript. Desktop and smart phone applications alike can be developed, enabling the creation of good-looking applications that with high usability.
Further, Caede creates mobile applications that do not require the installation of the Curl RTE.

Merit of mobile development by Caede
Caede allows the development of applications that can be run as native applications on smartphone or tablets. And just like Curl applications, it includes support for GUI layouts, screen transitions, business logic, web services, and more, with the addition of mobility features like local storage, cameras, and location services (e.g. GPS).
