YASMF-Next is a simple, easy-to-use, and light-weight framework that you can use in to develop your mobile applications.

Why YASMF-Next?

Many of the frameworks that support mobile development are large and bulky and, frankly, tend to have bad performance on actual mobile devices. The goal of YASMF is to be simple and limited in scope while also being highly performant on mobile devices.

YASMF-Next (v0.4) is based loosely on iSiteMobile and the previous version (0.2 and 0.3) of YASMF and also integrates some ideas from the iOS SDK, especially with regards to view hierarchy and management. YASMF provides a simple localization library, simple file management, and simple view management, and base styles to make creating HTML-based widgets that look and feel reasonably native.

Note: YASMF is at version 0.4 and is under heavy development. This means that the underlying API is subject to change at any time.

Platform Support

Android: Android 4.x and higher. Works on phone and tablets.
iOS: iOS 6.x and higher. Works on iPhone, iPod, and iPad.
