Abstract
A method for enabling the provisioning and execution of a platform-independent application includes receiving, by a mobile computing device, from a provisioning source, an XML document describing at least a portion of functionality provided by an application. An abstraction layer executing on the mobile computing device populates a Document Object Model (“DOM”) structure at least in part representing the running state of the application consistent with the received XML document. The abstraction layer presents a device-appropriate application user interface responsive to the DOM structure. The application receives a user input from within the rendered application user interface. Programming code referenced by the DOM receives, from the abstraction layer, the input event. The programming code reconfigures the DOM, in response to the received input event to reflect a response by the application to the input. The abstraction layer updates the device-appropriate application user interface, responsive to the reconfiguring of the DOM.
