GENERATION OF APPLICATION BASED ON DECLARATIVE SPECIFICATION

An application development environment generates applications from declarative specification for the application. The declarative specification describes one or more object types and references to objects of each object type. The application development environment generates instructions (or code) from the declarative specification to generate an initial version of the application. The application development environment iteratively builds the application based on user interactions that modify the declarative specification. The application development environment modifies the instructions for the application to match the modified declarative specification. The final version of the application may be deployed on a production system.
