Enyo (software)


Enyo is an open source JavaScript framework for cross-platform mobile, desktop, TV and web applications emphasizing object-oriented encapsulation and modularity. Initially developed by Palm, which was later acquired by Hewlett-Packard and then released under an Apache 2.0 license. It is sponsored by LG Electronics and Hewlett-Packard.

Bootplate

Bootplate is a simplified way of creating an app, providing a skeleton of the program's folder tree. The Bootplate template provides a complete starter project that supports source control and cross-platform deployment out of the box. It can be used to facilitate both the creation of a new project and the preparation for its eventual deployment.

Libraries

The following projects are built with Enyo:
