1 Introduction
The UI development toolkit for HTML5 (SAPUI5) is a library and a framework, which is designed to enable
developers to easily create and extend state-of-the-art user interfaces. SAPUI5 is based on HTML5 and bases on
the the jQuery library. It supports CSS3, which allows you to adapt themes to your company's branding in an
effective manner. SAPUI5 is Open AJAX-compliant and can be used together with other standard JavaScript
libraries. The client-side rendering library provides a rich set of controls. You can extend the existing controls, or
develop new custom controls.
The UI development tools are part of SAPUI5. They are a set of eclipse-based tools and editors, which support you
in developing applications and controls. Wizards help you to create application projects and views according to
the model view controller concept. It also provides additional features, such as the JavaScript code completion
and the In-place application preview. The SAPUI5 ABAP team provider functionality supports you in developing on
an ABAP backend system.
A Web application, which has been developed in the SAPUI5 framework can run on the following platforms:
● SAP NetWeaver ABAP Server
