What is MIDletPascal?
MIDletPascal is an open-source, cross-platform integrated development environment (IDE) and compiler that allows developers to create mobile applications using the Object Pascal programming language. It generates Java ME compatible apps that can run on mobile phones.
Some key features of MIDletPascal include:
- IDE with code editor, debugger, UI designer, etc. for streamlined development
- Compiler that converts Object Pascal code into Java byte code
- Support for creating midlets - apps that work on Java ME enabled mobile phones
- Libraries and APIs for accessing phone features like networking, messaging, storage, sensors, etc.
- Emulator for testing apps without needing a physical phone
- Build system to package and deploy midlets to phones
- Open source with an MIT license allowing free use and distribution
MIDletPascal aims to bring the productivity of Object Pascal to mobile development while generating apps that can run across a wide range of phones. Its IDE and tools lower the barriers for creating capable midlets. With MIDletPascal, developers can use a high-level, easy to learn language to write mobile apps.
Microsoft Visual Studio, Apache NetBeans, Code::Blocks, Eclipse, Microsoft Small Basic, Pelles C, Qt Creator, Cevelop, React Studio, AvalonStudio, B4X are some alternatives to MIDletPascal.
