The Curl Enterprise Rich Internet Application Platform

Curl is an enterprise rich Internet Application Platform providing the most powerful and effective environment for rapidly developing complex, industrial-strength Web applications.

Powering the Next Generation of Web Applications

Using Curl, organizations can create a new class of Web based feature-rich applications that provide all of the rich interactivity, functionality and performance of client-server applications.

Unlike tools such as Java, Ajax and .Net, Curl's rich feature set delivers powerful program logic, graphics and text processing in one integrated RIA framework that supports:

• Large scale application development complex data structures, abstractions, modular development and compile-time error checking
• Rapid deployment smooth transitions from prototype to deployment, with no rework
• All content types Powerful tools for declarative content descriptions like HTML
• Multiple Platforms Inherent portability, client platform and server-side independence
• Web Services Integration enhanced functionality for reading, creating, modifying and processing XML

Curl Platform Components

• Curl Language the only language designed specifically for use on the Web that supports rich text formatting and GUI layouts much like HTML, enables full featured object-oriented programming like C++, C# and Java, and delivers fast and easy presentation scripting similar to JavaScript
• The Curl IDE a rich suite of developer tools for building Curl applications, including a drag-and-drop visual editor, source-code editor, debugger, deployment tools, etc
• The Curl RTE the runtime engine that executes Curl applications and renders the resulting displays on a client machine
• The Curl CDE is a set of Eclipse plug-ins that provide an environment for developing programs in the Curl language and on the Curl RIA platform.
• Curl WSDK - The WSDK library provides components enabling development of Curl applications that make use of web services and data resources. These include SOAP/WSDL support, and an XML document model.
• The CDK library facilitates building data-centric applications in Curl and provides support for local SQL databases.
• The Curl CDK-DS library facilitates building data-centric applications in Curl that use remoting and messaging to interact with servers that support the AMF data transfer protocol.
