Overview
A language (LanguageDefinition) is a collection of component definitions. It is also known as a component set.
For example, Window, Button and Combobox all belong to the same language called xul/html. It is a ZK variant of XUL (and also known as zul).
Component designers are free to designate a component definition to any component set they prefer, as long as there is no name conflict[1].
Standard Languages
ZK provides three different languages (aka., component sets): xul/xhtml, xhtml and xml. The xul/xhtml and xhtml langauges can be used for any modern browser (Ajax assumed), while the zml language is used for generating XML document (non-Ajax). Developers are free to add their own language.
| Language | Description |
|---|---|
| xul/html |
Name: xul/html File Extensions: zul, xul Namespace: http://www.zkoss.org/2005/zul Namespace shortcut: zul Device: Ajax XUL-compliant component sets. We adopt XUL for this language, if the specification is applicable. For more information, please refer to the ZUL section and ZK Component Reference. |
| xhtml |
Name: xhtml File Extensions: zhtml, xhtml, html, htm Namespace: http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml Namespace shortcut: xhtml Device: Ajax XHTML-compliant component sets. It is one-to-one mapping of XHTML tags to ZK components. Since they are components, you can add and remove them dynamically (and control it at the server). For more information please refer to the ZHTML section or ZK Component Reference. Performance Tip: The XHTML language is designed to allow application to modify the client dynamically (at the server). If you don't need it (it is generally true), you shall use the Native namespace instead. For more information, please refer to Performance Tips. |
| xml |
Name: xml File Extensions: xml Namespace: http://www.zkoss.org/2007/xml Namespace shortcut: xml Device: XML Available only ZK EE XML component sets. It is used to generate (static) XML document. For more information please refer to the XML section. |
