Description

Waba is a programming platform for small devices. Waba defines a language, a virtual machine, a class file format and a set of foundation classes. Because of the way Waba was designed, developers can use Java development tools to develop Waba programs. The syntax of the Waba programming language is a strict subset of the syntax of the Java language. This allows developers who are familiar with Java to quickly start programming in Waba.

The Waba class file and bytecode format are strict subsets of the class file and bytecode format supported by Java. This allows developers to use Java development tools to write programs for the Waba platform as long as they only use the subset of functionality supported by Waba. The Waba language, virtual machine and class file format were designed to be optimal for small devices. Features that would use substantial amounts of memory or that were deemed unnecessary for small devices were omitted from the design of the Waba language and platform.

Waba has a set of foundation classes designed to be as small as possible while still containing the functionality needed to write fully featured programs for small devices. Waba comes with a set of "bridge" classes that allow Waba programs to run anywhere Java is available. Waba programs can run as Java applets and applications. Using the bridge classes, a Waba program can run under Windows, UNIX and could appear on a web page as a Java applet.
