Metawidget is an object/user interface mapping tool. The term object/user interface mapping (OIM) refers to the technique of inspecting objects, at runtime, and creating User Interface (UI) widgets. As much as possible, Metawidget does this without introducing new technologies. Metawidget inspects an application’s existing back-end architecture and creates widgets native to its existing front-end framework. See also the Elevator Pitch Cartoon.
