View Development Paradigm - which one?

[#1]

Hi All,

I suspect this has been discussed before but I can't see the wood for the trees at the moment...  I'm taking my first proper steps in SAPUI5 development in anger and wondered if there is a preferred view type?  Is there a pro's/con's document or some sort of decision tree to help decide which paradigm to go for?

If it helps, I'm more used to working with JavaScript and HTML so would naturally tend towards one of those.  JS looks especially similar to how many other SAP UI technology has worked in the past in my mind so looks to be easier for me to get into but am happy to be guided...

Thanks,

Gareth.

Hi Gareth,

take a look at this document:

SAPUI5 SDK - Demo Kit

"When to use which view type"

Use the one you have the most expertise.

Most flexible is JavaScript. JSON is an easy way. XML is easy, too, but more flexible than JSON. HTML is supported, but still in early stages.

Best regards,

Tobias
