Libraries
The basis of SAPUI5 is a set of JavaScript and CSS libraries.
To use these libraries, different ways to embed them into your application are provided and this is handled automatically by the respective resource handler. You can use different libraries in one application.
The mobile library, called sap.m, ist designed especially for mobile devices and tablets, but can be used for desktop applications as well. The other libraries are designed for desktop applications and can be used to run on tablets as well, but not focussed on mobile devices.
