摘要

A client-based application includes sections that are used to define user interface displays for the system. The sections are customizable by a backend system so customizations are accommodated by modified versions of the mobile application.

1. A computing system, comprising:
an application programming interface, exposed by the computing system, that receives a call from a client application for a user interface display that has a plurality of different predefined sections thereon, the call including section identifying metadata; a section accessing system that parses the call to identify the plurality of different sections on the user interface display; a control identifying component that accesses section definition metadata corresponding to each of the identified sections and identifies control metadata indicative of controls that are displayed on each of the identified sections; and a data identifying component that accesses the section definition metadata and identifies data binding metadata, corresponding to each of the identified sections, indicative of data bound to each of the controls, the application programming interface returning the call by returning the control metadata and the data binding metadata for rendering each of the plurality of identified sections on the user interface display, at the client application.
