Dynamical Launches WAP Developer Toolkit

The WAP Developer Toolkit from Dynamical Systems Research (DSR) is a developer software product for mobile phones and devices that includes a WAR (Wireless Application Reader) browser that supports the Wireless Markup Language (WML) as well as WMLScript, including all the WMLScript Standard Libraries.

Embedded in the WAR browser is a WMLScript bytecode Virtual Machine that runs compiled WMLScript applications. The WAP Developer Toolkit also features a WML Encoder/Decoder for converting WML elements into bytecoded format so as to achieve optimal use of low-bandwidth wireless communication channels.

The conversion is performed off-line and the encoded WML modules can then be made available for downloading by WML browsers. Included is a WMLScript compiler and assembler for converting WMLScript source code into the compressed bytecode format that is run by WAP client devices.

Developers can use WMLScript Debug Library for debugging of their WAP applications during development.
