Software platform to generate GUI in Java based on configurable prototypes

PNN Soft specializes in creating technically interesting and balanced digital solutions. Since our experience has more than two decades, we have been developing custom-made solutions and our own projects.

Project Description

Java GUI framework — Gatonero — is a framework for User Interface (UI) design. Quick, powerful, and adaptable, it is a preferred tool for UI prototyping during the initial stages of a customized software development cycle. It can also be used for the design of production user interfaces. Gatonero java framework for UI rendering and prototyping ensures fast and easy user interface generation. Gatonero Java includes several rendering engines:

• Gatonero Swing: for Java Swing-based applications and applets 
• Gatonero CE: for applications designed to run on PDAs
• Gatonero Mobile: for applications designed to run on mobile phones
• Gatonero HTML: for applications designed to run on web pages as servlets

Features and advantages of GUI Software platform

• Our java UI prototyping software offers a range of features and delivers a bunch of advantages.
• Multiple Rendering Engines provides cross-platform solution.
• Flexible blunting of the user interface. The available tools and cross-platform adaptation of the software platform open the possibility to quickly develop, deploy and modify the UI design.
• Simplified coding due to the declarative definition of UI.
• The platform reduces the burden on engineers, simplifies complex development processes and allows you to customize reusable interface components.
• The rendering engine operates independently of the descriptor implementation, ensuring modularity and maintainability.
• Straightforward, scalable for projects of varying complexity and scale.

Our technology expertise

Project concepts:

The Java UI prototyping software is built on two key concepts: descriptors and rendering engines. UI descriptors define the interface structure, while the rendering engine interprets these definitions at runtime, generating dynamic and interactive UI components.

• The Gatonero framework relies on 2 core concepts: descriptors and rendering engines. Descriptors describe a user interface; at runtime, the rendering engine interprets these UI definitions and creates/updates the appropriate graphical UI components.
• The Gatonero framework implements a facade pattern: the rendering engine does not depend on (and knows nothing about) specific details of descriptors implementation and vice versa. 
• The rendering process is based on a delegation pattern. The rendering engine delegates the rendering to renderer delegates. Renderer delegates are typically associated with component descriptor classes.
• Gatonero XML is used for the declarative definition of an application’s user interfaces.

Gatonero Java technology:

Gatonero is the best UI framework for java swing applications. The Gatonero Java API is the core of the Gatonero Java technology. It defines a set of abstract, platform-independent UI concepts that are used to make up the definition of a user interface. GUIs created with the Gatonero Java framework can be deployed as:

• Standalone Java Swing applications (including via Java Webstart). 
• Java applets on web pages. 
• Java standalone applications on PDAs running Windows CE.

Contact us for custom software development

PNN Soft experts are experienced software developers and know how to create Java GUI using XML descriptors. Using Gatonero XML, developers can define the structure of a Java GUI declaratively, allowing the rendering engine to dynamically generate and update UI components at runtime.
