Build data-driven web applications with Delphi, YAML metadata and server-generated HTML

YAML Metadata

Define data models, views and layouts in simple YAML files. Convention over configuration keeps definitions minimal and DRY — no boilerplate code needed.

Learn the basic concepts

Server-Generated HTML

The server generates the entire UI as HTML fragments delivered via HTMX. No JavaScript framework to learn — partial page updates happen transparently.

Routing & request flow

Database Agnostic

Pluggable data access layer supporting FireDAC, ADO and DBExpress. Build applications that run on SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, Firebird and more.

Configure databases

Server-Side Store

Data stores live in server memory across requests, enabling record state tracking, transactional master-detail saving, and blob lazy-loading — all within a single database transaction.

How the store works

Visual IDE (KIDE)

Design your application visually with KIDE — a tree editor with RTTI-based property discovery, database reverse engineering and YAML syntax checking.

Built-in HTTP Server

No external web server required. Applications run as a standalone VCL executable or Windows service with an integrated HTTP server.

Server configuration

Advanced Components

Built-in support for interactive Charts (Chart.js), Calendar views, Dashboards, Wizards, and Template Data Panels — all driven by YAML metadata with no client-side coding.
