| Laszlo was built from the ground up to facilitate the development of data-driven applications. | |
| LZX includes a powerful and standard based (XPath) data-binding API, as well as components to facilitate communication with the back-end. | |
| XML is used as the standard data representation format. | |
| The <dataset> component is a container for an XML document representing data for the application. | |
| Data binding is easy and standard-based: you use the datapath attribute to bind components to tags in XML documents. | |
| The syntax used in the datapath attribute to point to a specific tag or tag attribute follows the standard XPath notation. | |
| In OpenLaszlo applications, data binding is declarative and doesn't require script. |
