NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 28, 2002

Saucon Technologies (www.saucontech.com), an e-business solutions provider based in Bridgewater, NJ, announced today that it is making one of its key innovations available to the open-source community.

Japple enables application developers to create and deploy web applications faster, easier, and more efficiently than traditional methods.

Faster. Japple solves many of the common problems facing web application development today by codifying industry best practices in an easy to use framework. The framework itself provides a majority of the application. This allows the developer to focus on the business problem at hand, leading to faster implementation.

Easier. Web application development is a complex interaction of industry standards, protocols, programming languages, markup languages

  • List of general purpose markup languages
  • List of document markup languages
  • List of content syndication markup languages
  • List of lightweight markup languages
  • List of user interface markup languages
, query languages and content creation tools. Japple helps manage this complexity by providing an abstraction layer Software that translates a high-level request into the low-level commands required to perform the operation. The most common abstraction layer is the programming interface (API) between an application and the operating system.  for organizing development artifacts artifacts

 called Japple Managed Objects (JMOs). JMOs enable loose coupling throughout applications, making it easier to adapt to changing requirements.

More Efficient. The Japple architecture establishes a clean separation of concerns for interface designers, application developers, and programmers. Japple Templates are a unique way to code Java Server Pages See JSP.  without having to inline HTML HTML
