Long time, no news…. It’s been almost 6 weeks since the last update of Siam Flex Framework. But today I am proud to present to you the first beta release of Siam!

I’ve been spending a lot of time refining the core elements of Siam to ensure that we have the right API going forward.

So what’s new?

• Easier configuration with improved syntax and default specification
• Editors and validators are now supported
• Simpler API using factory and context classes
• Structured import for all data representation classes
• More control over formatting behavior

Where can I download it?

The project is hosted at http://code.google.com/p/siam-flex/.

You can try out the latest features with the Siam Flex Explorer:

The explorer encapsulate an example of application using all features of Siam and allows you to alter its XML configuration at run-time for demonstration purposes. The embedded example include implementations of a dynamic data grid and form, as wells as an adapted chart component.

A new release of Siam is available today!
Check out the latest version on the official project page: http://code.google.com/p/siam-flex/.

The main highlight is that developers can now describe how data models are rendered across their application. Flex renderers can be configured via XML (properties and styles are supported for Object and all primitive types).

Today I released the first version of Siam Flex Framework! The project can be found at http://code.google.com/p/siam-flex/. Please try it out and let me know what you think. It’s an Alpha release, in other words it’s not fully tested and there is little documentation. But starting with the Getting Started section on the project page should help you get an understanding of the framework.

Siam Flex framework aims to provide usability and rapid application development changes to the existing Adobe Flex data representation support. Siam is a lightweight framework that enables you to quickly represent your application data models regardless of their type or origin.

This preview introduces the envisioned features of the framework and contains also code examples and ideas for future releases. Siam is still in early phase, so your feedback is highly appreciated!

The project can be found at http://code.google.com/p/siam-flex/.
