I really like QxBuilder. Its one great solution to not have to deal with
javascript. Only problem with it is that nobody seems to know a lot about it
or is working on expanding its functionality.

XSL is a great solution if you have the know-how on how to write the
transformations. It can get very complicated and I personally find it too
complicated for the average developer (mind you once the transformations are
implemented nobody really has to deal with them - just xml input).

I think the question to ask is what is the ideal way to define a qooxdoo
application so it will load and render fastest. It should be supported now
and in future. Is it the provided public JS API? Should we build all
internal arrays directly skipping the API? This is acceptable I believe if
the developer can use a PHP API to construct the widgets in PHP. Sebastian?

I have a transformation library that can convert XML to PHP
multi-dimensional arrays based on an XML definition file. This is similar to
XSL but much easier to use and understand. This could be expanded to
generate qooxdoo JS code. Speed is not an issue here as we are dealing with
static data and the results can be cached. If speed is critical XSL is
probably the way to go.

Do we have an XML model available that can define every aspect of a qooxdoo
application? This would be very useful to put together for many reasons.
QxBuilder defines some aspects but not all I dont think.
