The Intel® HTML5 App Porter Tool – BETA is an application that helps mobile application developers to port native iOS* code into HTML5, by automatically translating portions of the original code into HTML5. This tool is not a complete solution to automatically port 100% of iOS* applications, but instead it speeds up the porting process by translating as much code and artifacts as possible.
It helps in the translation of the following artifacts:
- Objective-C* (and a subset of C) source code into JavaScript
- iOS* API types and calls into JavaScript/HTML5 objects and calls
- Layouts of views inside Xcode* Interface Builder (XIB) files into HTML + CSS files
- Xcode* project files into Microsoft* Visual Studio* 2012 projects
The Intel® HTML5 App Porter Tool – BETA is essentially a source-to-source translator that can handle a number of conversions from Objective-C* into JavaScript/HTML5 including the translation of APIs calls. A number of open source projects are used as foundation for the conversion including a modified version of Clang front-end, LayerD framework and jQuery Mobile* for widgets rendering in the translated source code.
Registration is required to download the beta version of Intel® HTML5 App Porter Tool, Requires Windows* 8 and Microsoft* Visual Studio* 2012.
