Resumen
User Interface construction is a recurrent topic in Software Engineering: multiples tools ranging from textual, graphical design tools exists to help in this task. On the other hand, the fast pace of front-end industrial frameworks makes such editors tools obsolete as soon as new technology emerges. The work presented here, introduces <>, a web based DSL with focus on minimal accidental complexity, removing accessory markup and a WUYIWYG environment to provide real-time feedback to users. Moreover, the UI specification built in this way is catalog neutral: in the way its primitives can be extended, and target platform agnostic: using model transformations and code generation for generating software artifacts like Native Web Components or Angular Elements code.
