XAML is a xml language for instantiating objects, whether it be a one of 3 similar but different GUI frameworks (WPF,Silverlight,WinRT) or say a workflow run-time (WWF).
Saying "XAML is what counts" is like saying "XIB is what counts" in the Apple world.
- pjmlp 13y agoXAML is almost the same API, with differences in terms of where it is implemented (WPF, Silverlight, WinRT implementations have different sets of C#/C++ code), the available components and some classes. However, it does share quite a lot across all frameworks where it is used.
- SigmundA 13y agoIncorrect WPF, Silverlight, and WinRT are similar GUI frameworks much in the same way Cocoa is similar between iOS and MacOS. In Windows XAML can be used to instantiate objects from those frameworks, on the Apple side XIB's provide the same function.
- pjmlp 13y agoI lack XIB experience. Can you also fully define GUI widgets just with XIB code like in XAML, where the whole graphic behaviour, transitions, events, skinning and themes is fully defined via XAML only?
