Implementing XML Views

The names of the SAPUI5 control libraries are mapped to XML namespaces.

In XML views, child controls can be simply added as child tags.

The use of native HTML in XML views depends on the XHTML feature set.

Style sheets are included in XML views in the same way as plain HTML. To add further CSS classes to SAPUI5 controls, use the class attribute.

XML views use event handlers as attributes: The attribute name is the event name, such as "press" for a button, and the attribute value is the event handler name.

With XML Runtime Templating you can create or modify views at runtime based on OData V2 metadata or OData V4 annotations.
