ABSTRACT:
A user interface (UI) property mapping system allows for efficient collaboration between a user experience (UX) team and a technical development team developing the UI. The UI mapping system assigns each component of the UI an identification key and exposes the identification key externally through an XML Schema, wherein such an XML Schema may be used by a UX team to generate an XML file specifying values of various properties of the UI. Subsequently, a UI object model reads the XML file to retrieve the values of various properties of the UI as specified by the UX team. The UI property mapping system may encode the XML file into a resource file that may be shipped with the final software using the UI. Alternatively, the XML file may be exposed for external modifications by end users to make changes to the UI as they desire.
