I've been working on a way to build custom components for #FeathersUI and #OpenFL using XML. I'm aiming for something very similar to #MXML in #ApacheFlex.

Last week, I finally compiled my first real sample component (after spending tons of time writing necessary low-level tests).

The XML code in the screenshot recreates one of the #FeathersUI samples that was originally written in #Haxe. The XML is parsed at compile-time with a Haxe build macro, which generates a class.

For some reason I remembered an #AdobeConnect conference I attended many years ago, and had to look up what the #RichWebApplication framework was called that was presented there.
Soon found out that it was #Flex2, a framework that I quickly lost interest in. Apparently #Adobe later donated it to #Apache where is still seems to be developed as #ApacheFlex. I guess it's still more popular than I had expected?
