*...offers a pure ABAP approach for developing UI5 apps - entirely without JavaScript, OData or RAP. Just like in classic ABAP, when a few lines of code 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.*
