XAML is not a layout engine, it's a language for instantiating objects. It does not even have to be used for GUI objects, just look at workflow foundation or BizTalk transforms.
- pjmlp 13y agoXAML is not only a layout engine, yes I know. We are discussing its place in GUI Frameworks.
- SigmundA 13y agoNo its simply not an engine, you are wrong. WPF or WPFe (Silverlight) or WinRT have layout engines, XAML can instantiate objects that call into the respective layout engines. Those same object can be created with normal code as well, no XAML at all.
