Is XIOS an abstraction layer in the browser?
Yes, XIOS is an abstraction layer. It provides an efficient environment and APIs for developers and creates a cohesive environment for running applications. It enables users to develop applications more rapidly without programming, and to distribute these applications to end-users on any platform, be it Windows, Linux or Mac. Xcerion chose to develop XIOS using traditional OS methodologies since browsers are the most commonly installed software on desktop computers, hence no installation is required to run XIOS. For XIOS, the browser functions as the graphical rendering engine for the OS.
