Dynamator Pure HTML for every page generation technology.
           

Benefits

  • More effective teams.
    HTML authors don't have to be trained to program. They never even see any non-standard HTML tags or program logic. So they can focus on faithful design rendering, browser compatibility, accessibility, and tweaks.

    Software developers don't have to spend time tweaking HTML for a page they happen to be working on. They can treat HTML as a white-box module with a well-defined interface. Dynamator files are much easier for software developers to maintain than server pages.

  • Faster development and maintainance.
    Dynamator allows HTML authors to work on HTML at the same time that programmers are working on server page code. Changes implemented in parallel are integrated in seconds by Dynamator.

  • Increased client satisfaction.
    Clients like to tweak HTML. In typical projects, the tweaking never stops. With traditional technologies, tweaking is very costly after HTML has been converted to server pages. With Dynamator, clients can tweak all they want without affecting the critical path. HTML authors can apply tweaks to the static demo site, providing rapid, tangible feedback at low cost. Then the updated demo site can be quickly transformed into the production site using Dynamator.

  • Easier testing.
    Because HTML remains pure, it can be viewed in a browser. No need for page authors to deploy server pages to a web server to see what they will look like.

    Because Dynamator allows the same program logic file to be used by multiple templates, software developers can write XML templates to test server page program logic behavior apart from HTML.

  • Simpler separation.
    Many complications have been introduced to web application architectures in attempts to separate static content from program logic. Few really accomplish that objective.

    Dynamator makes separation easy: server code is kept in a separate file. Revisit your assumptions: for a simple site, you might not need an MVC architecture, tag libraries, or even JavaBeans; Dynamator alone might provide sufficient modularity with greatly reduced development effort.

  • Easy reuse.
    Dynamator files are automatically reusable. So each Dynamator file becomes part of a library of reusable server code. Because Dynamator files contain no HTML, they can be reused wherever the same behavior is needed, even when formatting is drastically different.

    Dynamator libraries are much easier to build than JSP tag libraries because library components are normal Dynamator files.

  • Smoother organizational interfaces.
    Server pages are at their worst when HTML and server code are produced by different organizations. By providing a crisp interface between HTML and server code, Dynamator simplifies and structures the relationship between producing organizations. Each organization remains in complete control of its portion of the work, and is free from responsibility for work owned by the other organization.

  • Improved internationalization.
    Nothing can make internationalization easy, but Dynamator offers compelling advantages over traditional approaches. Dynamator can reduce the cost and complexity of both architecture development and the internationalization and localization processes. Using Dynamator as part of an internationalization architecture can also result in more efficient runtime performance.

  • Easier support for multiple interfaces.
    Dynamator simplifies development and maintenance of multi-channel and multi-customer applications. With Dynamator, a single copy of the server code can support any number of HTML- and XML-based interfaces.
