[dba-Tech] HTML5 App Porter Tool - BETA

Hi All:

Here is a very interesting new product that might allow developers to port
iOS native apps into HTML5 apps for porting and developing to other
platforms.

According to the description it helps in the translation of the following
artifacts:

1. Objective-C* (and a subset of C) source code into JavaScript.

2. iOS* API types and calls into JavaScript/HTML5 objects and calls.

3. Layouts of views inside Xcode* Interface Builder (XIB) files into HTML +
CSS files.

4. Xcode* project files into Microsoft* Visual Studio* 2012 projects.

The application is essentially a source-to-source translator that can handle
a number of conversions from Objective-C* into JavaScript/HTML5 including
the translation of APIs calls. A number of open source projects are used as
foundation for the conversion including a modified version of Clang
front-end, LayerD framework and jQuery Mobile* for widgets rendering in the
translated source code.

A very interesting and detailed description is also provided. I am sure that
similar products will be used to translate all the native apps, regardless
of the platform on which they have been originally designed.
