About

Hxmr is macros-based MXML replacement for Haxe. It allows you to code object model in declarative style using XML. The most common use case is UI markup.

Profit

  • Declarative style
  • Almost full Flex4 MXML specification support
  • Bindings ( https://github.com/HxJointForces/bindx )
  • Cross-platform
  • Сompile-time checks
  • No need to use Apache Flex, could be used for any kind of tasks, even not for UI.
  • Fast compilation
  • Extensions support

Example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<h:Box xmlns:h="h2d.comp.*" layout="Vertical" xmlns:view="*">
	<h:inlineCss>
		<![CDATA['
		.redBtn {border : 1px solid red;} 
		.redBtn:hover {border : 1px solid #990000;}
		.lbl {font-size:26px;}
		']]>
	</h:inlineCss>
	
	<h:Label text="'Hello, world!'" classes="['lbl']" />
	
	<h:Button text="'Button 1'" classes="['redBtn']" />
	<h:Box layout="Horizontal">
		<h:Button text="'Button 2'" />
		
		<h:Box layout="Vertical">
			<h:Button text="'Button 3'" />
			<h:Button text="'Button 4'" />
		</h:Box>
	</h:Box>
	
	<view:CheckboxView />
	<view:CheckboxView />
	
	<h:Label text="'foo'" />
	<h:Label text="'bar'" />
	
	<h:Checkbox />
	
</h:Box>
