Abstract:
The present invention provides technologies for forming an editing interface for editing arbitrary objects. In particular, the present invention provides system and methods for enumerating object properties, selecting a suitable pre-existing object editor and, if no such pre-existing editor is available, constructing an object editor on the fly suitable for editing the properties of the object where the object may include properties and/or collections of objects. Construction of a suitable editor is based on enumeration of object properties and on the serialization of the object using a descriptive language such as extensible markup language (“XML”) or the like. Property values specified by a user via the object interface and editors are stored in a descriptive format such as XML and generally specify the initial characteristics of the object.
Abstract:
A method includes providing a Web development tool for developing an application that includes a primary document and a plurality of related files. A user interface for controlling the Web development tool is generated. The method includes generating as part of the user interface a code editor panel, wherein the code editor panel includes a primary editor sub-panel for editing content of the primary document and a secondary editor sub-panel for editing content of the related files.
Abstract:
Various techniques for assembling object properties are disclosed. For example, one such method includes receiving an object identification that indicates an object, and receiving a property associated with the object. Property category identification is performed that identifies a property category associated with the aforementioned property, and the property is dynamically associated with the identified property category. In some instances, such methods further include providing a category editor that allows for modifying a plurality of properties associated with the property category.
