MXML

What is MXML?
MXML is an XML-based markup language that is primarily used to layout
application display elements. Also, MXML is used to declaratively define
non-visual aspects of an application, such as access to server-side data
sources and data bindings between user-interface components and server-side
data sources.
Like HTML, MXML provides tags that define user interfaces. MXML will seem very
familiar if you have worked with HTML. However, MXML is more structured than
HTML, and it provides a much richer tag set. For example, MXML includes tags
for visual components such as data grids, trees, tab navigators, accordions,
and menus, as well as non-visual components that provide web service
connections, data binding, and animation effects. You can also extend MXML with
custom components that you reference as MXML tags.
How does it work?
MXML applications are compiled into SWF files and rendered by Adobe Flash
Player, which provides a richer and more dynamic user interface than page-based
HTML applications provide. MXML application can be written in a single file or
in multiple files. MXML also supports custom components written in MXML and
ActionScript files.
Because MXML files are ordinary XML files, you have a wide choice of
development environments. You can write MXML code in a simple text editor, a
dedicated XML editor, or an integrated development environment (IDE) that
supports text editing. Flex supplies a dedicated IDE, called Adobe Flex
Builder, that you can use to develop your applications. You can deploy your
application as a compiled SWF file or, if you have Adobe Flex Data Services,
you can deploy your application as a set of MXML and AS files.
