About Xobas Software
Xobas Software - an independent privately held open source software
development company providing reliable quality software tools for cross
platform development and deployment.
The current flagship product is Xobas-4GL, an integrated 4GL / Web Services
composite environment for the development and deployment of business
applications. Xobas-4GL differentiates from the traditional 4GL environments
in the revolutionary way it has been engineered. All core modules that
together form the Xobas-4GL environment, as the interface to database (RDBMS)
systems, application repository or the Web Browser interface, can either be
configured as a Web Service or configured to be called as a library. This
gives maximum flexibility to the users of Xobas-4GL as the system can be setup
and used over a network of diverse servers for enterprise usage, be setup as a
standalone package for single PC usage or any mix in the middle. A native XML
database is used for the storage of all the application objects and a powerful
4GL language, internal set of object editors and graphical user interface
designer result in much faster development times then using languages as C/C++
or Java. Xobas-4GL applications are easy to deploy, maintain and change. The
Xobas-4GL environment is portable across different platforms, either in a mix
of Web Services on different platforms or all on the single platform. Current
supported platforms include various major GNU/Linux distributions and
MS-Windows (Cygwin).
