	XAML - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		XAML (short for Extensible Application Markup Language, and pronounced "Zammel") is a declarative XML-based language used to define objects and their properties, relationships and interactions.
		In fact, XAML is used extensively in the.NET Framework 3.0 technologies, particularly in WPF, where it is used as a user interface markup language to define UI elements, data binding, eventing, and other features, and in Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), in which workflows themselves can be defined using XAML.
		XAML elements map to Common Language Runtime object instances whereas attributes map to CLR properties and events on those objects.

	ONDotnet.com -- Inside XAML
		XAML user interfaces are built in much the same way as HTML web user interfaces -- you simply create a document with tags for each of the user interface elements you require.
		XAML files are usually compiled rather than being parsed at runtime (although runtime parsing is available it you really need it.) When you build a XAML-based project, the XAML compiler generates a class for each XAML file.
		XAML enables a clean separation of user interface from code through the use of code-behind files, while its close integration with WinFX makes it very easy for code to manipulate the user interface elements defined in the markup.

	Cover Pages: Microsoft Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		XAML is based on Extensible Markup Language (XML) and enables developers to specify a hierarchy of objects with a set of properties and logic.
		Fundamentally, a XAML page describes the classes that the runtime should create, the property values and event handlers for the instances of the classes, and an object model hierarchy -- that is, which instance is the parent of another instance.
		XAML has very intimate ties with the Avalon class library: every element type you can use in XAML is actually a class and, specifically, a descendent of the UIElement or ContentElement classes declared in the MSAvalon.Windows namespace.

	XAML - Putting XML to Work
		XAML syntactically inherited from XML is a scripting programming language used to write applications that covers both Windows and Web worlds.
		When you open an XAML file in browser (Windows Longhorn), the operating system is smart enough to read the XAML tags, elements, and attribute values and creates a window with the given attribute and element values.
		XAML is a technology to write a single application that targets both Windows and Web users without any modifications.

	Rob Relyea : Our 7 Goals for XAML
		XAML also enables the separation of UI design from the underlying code, enabling developers and designers to work more closely together.
		Sometimes XAML is treated as source code, that gets compiled into an assembly (.exe or.dll) as a combination of a binary representation and IL.
		That all being said, I believe it is important to remember that for as interesting as XAML itself may be to some, we are building a comprehensive platform with Avalon.

	Life with XAML (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		XAML is short for eXtensible Application Markup Language, and is pronounced “Zammel”.
		XAML files are valid XML files, so not only can humans read and write XAML, but software tools and utilities can easily create, transform, and parse XAML.
		XAML will enable artists and their artsy tools to work closely with developers and their nerdy tools (or at least there should be less blood shed than in the past).

	Cover Pages: Transaction Authority Markup Language (XAML)
		The XAML initiative is so-named because it is an extension of XML, the common language of e-commerce, which supports transactional semantics as defined by the widely adopted standard for two-phase commit, XA (Transaction Authority).
		XAML will enable companies engaging in business-to-business transactions to integrate and leverage existing transaction systems, as well as participate in new types of transactions.
		XAML is Transaction Authority Markup Language, an emerging standard for coordinating and processing multiparty transactions led by Bowstreet, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Oracle, and Sun..." See also the announcement of 2001-01-18 for the formation of the OASIS Business Transactions Technical Committee.

	XAML Overview
		XAML itself is a larger language concept that is present in other areas of Microsoft.NET Framework version 3.0 as well.
		XAML has a set of rules to map classes into object tags, attributes into properties and events, and XML namespaces to CLR namespaces; for example, XAML element tags map directly to Microsoft.NET types as defined in the Windows Presentation Foundation assemblies.
		A markup extension is a XAML concept whereby the presence of curly braces indicates an escape from treating the enclosed string as either a literal value or a string value to convert.

	XAML - xaml.net - Welcome to xaml.net!
		XAML is a declarative XML-based language that defines objects and their properties in XML.
		XAML syntax focuses upon defining the UI (user interface) for the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and is therefore separate from the application code behind it.
		As the XAML markup for an application's UI remains separate from the remainder of application logic, a designer's exact layout can be saved in XAML and combined with the application without affecting the development process.

	Sam Ruby: No dynamic XAML?
		XAML is but one way to stitch together CLR-based classes, some of which may be from Avalon.
		XAML is a markup language that can be used on Longhorn for many things including creating desktop apps, web pages, and printable documents.
		XAML is nothing more than an XML-based file format for storing information about a set of interrelated CLR classes and partial classes.

	Smart Software: XAML and Standards
		First, XAML does use WVG (Windows Vector Graphics), which is based off of SVG, with the requirement that WVG deviate as little as possible from SVG, but without placing any onerous requirements on WVG.
		XAML was an attempt to design from the ground up a good UI language, whereas original philosophy of HTML was designed to avoid specifying formatting, so as to be viewable through any browser in any device.
		XAML also has a one-to-one correspondence with.NET objects, so that instead of using XAML, you can actually write code to build the interface in exactly the same way it was specified in XAML, but in a different syntax.

	Hacking for Christ: XAML and XUL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Having seen the XAML demonstration at WinHEC, it appears that Microsoft's plans are to release a technology that is so far ahead in wow-factor that businesses will be pushing to get XAML web sites, viewable only in IE rather than work to web-standards as has been the case.
		XAML will definitly stay proprietary and even if other products adopt and create a parser it will probably always stay a "second best" with limitations since other constructs like ActiveX, DirectX or Windows Media are just not available on all platforms.
		XAML makes a lot of sense as an application platform for Windows, XML user interface languages are very comfortable to work with when creating a GUI.

	mezzoblue § Avalon/XAML First Look
		Avalon goes hand-in-hand with XAML, Microsoft’s upcoming eXtensible Application Markup Language, which is XML in name if not in spirit.
		It appears a special XAML plug-in or player or something equivalent is necessary, as it was demonstrated running inside of a stock version of IE6 under Windows XP.
		If anyone who understands XAML better than I would like to come in and tell me how backwards I have it, I’d love to hear from you, comments are open.

		Because all the elements in a XAML file map to equivalent classes in the Microsoft.NET Framework, the xlmns attribute provides a URI pointing to a file that lists the names of the.NET namespaces where the classes are declared.
		Another short XAML file is also required to indicate the XAML page that is first displayed when the program is executed.
		In XAML the CDATA section must also be enclosed in a def:Code element, and additional elements must indicate what programming language is being used.

	XAML Blog Reader .::. joemarini.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		XAML (pronounced "zam-el") allows you to specify the user interface portion of your Windows® applications using markup to represent the usual items in an application, such as controls, text, hyperlinks, images, etc. XAML itself is built on top of a technology named Avalon, which brings a compositing, vector-based rendering engine to the Windows desktop.
		The first part of the XAML file defines the Resources section of the DockPanel, under which I've defined an XML data source to retrieve the blog information from and a style to use to present the blog items in a list format.
		XAML is an exciting new technology that fundamentally changes how Windows applications are built.

		XAML will be Windows-only, so in that sense the comparison is stretched.

		One big difference that XAML will have, for sure, is that it will have a nice UI designer, something that Swing still lacks.

		With XAML elements you control the layout of each page, including the display of text and images and the insertion of interactive components such as buttons and textboxes.
		The current three-language limit is due to the fact that the source code of a XAML file must be parsed and compiled on the fly, hence a compiler and a related code document object model must be available beforehand.
		All XAML pages have at least one panel element that acts as a container window and controls the positioning of child content and global properties such as the background color and the font.

		XAML provides a way to duplicate the this commenting out technique through the use of the markup compatibility namespace.
		XAML really doesn't have to do much to claim it supports backwards compatibility because backwards compatibility is really a relationship between two sets of XAML schemas (and the implying assemblies) than it is between XAML documents.
		This allows all XAML documents referring to version 1 assembly to be readable when you only have version 2 of the assembly.

	Simon Willison: Microsoft's XUL
		XAML doesn't become useable until enough people can use it, except in business environments where someone can make the decision to move everyone to longhorn.
		Even if XAML catches on quickly, I would be amazed if the percentages of people able to view XAML rival the same figures for Flash until several years after launch, and even today Flash is used for very little actual content of websites.
		Yes, XAML is somewhat of a XUL rip-off, but I'm afraid that with Microsoft behind it, XAML is going to far exceed XUL's usefulness in the marketplace -- that is, unless the open source community gets its act together within the next couple of years.

	Sam Ruby: XAML revealed
		XAML is domain-neutral, so while it may be used to create desktop apps, web pages, and printable documents, it could also be used to create CRM apps, blogging backends, or highly concurrent web services provided you had a supporting CLR-based library to do the heavy lifting.
		His example suggests XAML can be used to actually declare a new type which is (IMO) very different to ASP.NET which maps purely to existing types (as does XUL).
		XAML does at least offer better UI options that classic web page designs, without forcing everyone to reroll their own custom widgets, a la DHTML or SVG.

	Joe Marini - Why I love XAML
		It's a shame as I haven't seen anything to indicate that XAML (and the Avalon graphics engine it relies on) couldn't be integrated into XP or even 2000.
		On the subject of dev tools for XAML, I don't think there are any yet (except for the general XML tools in the Whidbey beta and 3rd party stuff like XMLSPY).
		Thus an application made using XAML could perform on a older platform much like a browser can render html pages even if it doesn't support CSS (although hopefully the drop in visual quality won't be as drastic).

	Smart Software: Markup-based UI
		One of these concepts borrowed is a markup language, called XAML, which Microsoft took and refined beautifully.
		Also, XAML supports any.NET language, but there is no special support or preference for Javascript; more likely code behind XAML will be written in a more performant language, C# or VB.NET.
		WIth XAML, you can declaratively specify a user interface, but I don't think it is limited to just user interfaces or Avalon, for that matter.

		That means developers wouldn't have to access many APIs directly and instead can modify XAML scripts, sources said.
