*...offers a pure ABAP approach for developing UI5 apps - entirely without JavaScript, OData or RAP. Just like in the past, when a few lines of ABAP were enough to display input forms and tables using Selection Screens & ALVs. Designed with a minimal system footprint, it works in both on-premise and cloud environments.*
#### Key Features
* **100% ABAP:** Developing purely in ABAP (no JavaScript, DDL, EML or Customizing)
* **User-Friendly:** Implement a single interface to create a standalone UI5 application
* **Minimal System Footprint:** Uses a simple HTTP handler (no BSP, OData, CDS or RAP)
* **Cloud & On-Premise Ready:** Supports both ABAP Cloud and Standard ABAP
* **Broad System Compatibility:** Runs on all ABAP releases (from NW 7.02 to ABAP Cloud)
* **Easy Installation:** Install via abapGit, no additional app deployment required
#### Compatibility
* BTP ABAP Environment (ABAP for Cloud)
* S/4 Public Cloud (ABAP for Cloud)
* S/4 Private Cloud or On-Premise (ABAP for Cloud, Standard ABAP)
* R/3 NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.50 or higher (Standard ABAP)
* R/3 NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.02 to 7.42: Use the [downported repositories](https://github.com/abap2UI5-downports)
