The front-end requested and retrieved content from a few web services. A data format was needed to handle the retrieved output from the web. Using an arbitrary format was too limiting. Something formal was needed.

The requirements.

While trying to find a suitable data format, HTML and XML were considered. However, they were unacceptable because their features were incompatible with the front-end being developed. There needed to be another choice, one with...
  • support for multiple views (for use in different applications);
  • a way to define multiple sets of data for multidimensional views;
  • content that translates to/from other formats; and
  • a distinction between the display of the form and view.

Since there was no format meeting all the requirements, the front-end was going to need something new. Using the front-end, it was possible to develop a format and test it for these requirements. In other words, the front-end existed before the markup language!
