Glimmer is a dedicated JavaScript library for mobile building applications. It came out of Ember.js front end stack of JavaScript. For improving web application, glimmer will be using custom byte codes on mobile devices.
The UI interface component library in glimmer highlights architecture based on virtual machine. It is quite similar to JVM in JavaScript and Common runtime language of Microsoft. For practice in user interface this machine is made to run inside the browser. An open source library called handlebars is used for fetching templates in glimmer and Ember. Any improvements made in glimmer improves ember as well, as glimmer is the interpretation of ember engine. These features pump up the compilation speed and performance of the mobile app.
For faster analysis time, glimmer compiles template with JSON and the developers can write it in Typescript or JavaScript. But to remove the analyzing costs, the beta version eliminating the performance blockage on low smartphones and compiling to the custom byte code. The codes have benefits when it comes to performance on an iOS platform. The next version of glimmer with includes new bytecode that are costumed. A dedicated set of developers are eagerly waiting for this release. The novel features promised in the new version are listed below:
• Binary Code Format Support - This support enhances the speed of the web application in glimmer. It will also improve the runtime and load time. With this feature even the most refined web applications can be accessed in low key smartphones.
• For executing applications parallel to JavaScript, experimental support is provided to the web workers.
To experience this new technology you can download Glimmer from GitHub. Developers can try beta bytecode version.
