The Curl Language

One Stop Shopping

Unlike other RIA technologies, the Curl language combines the descriptive and active elements found in traditional web-development tools with the strength of a full-featured object-oriented programming language.

Key enterprise-class attributes include:

• Content language Curl spans the full range of requirements, from simple text markup and GUI layout to heavy-duty object-oriented computing.
• Compile-time checking Objects and interfaces in Curl applications can be strongly typed, allowing for highly accurate compile-time error checking.
• Modularity Curl has strong modularity constructs, including packages as well as classes with multiple inheritance.
• Performance Curl applications run at the full native speed of the client machine, reducing pressure to compromise application architecture or features for performance.
• Graphics Curl includes a full range of APIs for graphical layout and interaction, in both 2D and 3D.

These key attributes make Curl the ideal language for implementing applications such as:

Dashboards for Viewing and Manipulating Enterprise Data

• 2D and 3D graphics capabilities support lucid, interactive data displays
• Autonomous creation of client displays, including highly responsive "drill down" capabilities
• Elastic graphical layout features for easy adaptation to any window size
• Easy Integration of Portals and mash-ups integrate from multiple sources

Secure Desktop Applications with Off-line Support

• Ability to install and run applications directly from the desktop
• Applications can run off-line making use of secure desktop data while running unprivileged outside the browser and directly from the desktop

Interactive Forms with Intelligent Data Validation

• Simple creation of visually attractive forms
• Dynamic launching of forms and charts
• Network independence online and offline application availability

Live Documentation and Interactive Education

• Support for the creation of interactive maintenance manuals, training courses and educational materials.
• Combining interactive calculators, diagrams, visualizations, animations or simulations.
