Currently it supports Linux, Windows, OS X, and iOS. I’d like to see Android support, and I don’t think this will be very difficult - given that Android itself is based on Linux. The high-level APIs in iOS are all Objective C (and now Swift), but plain libraries written in C can be used as well (DocFormats is written in C). Actually given that Objective C is a superset of C, it’s quite easy to intermix the two languages. For portability reasons we’ve stuck with C, but the Objective C code in UX Write (my own iOS app) calls through to the APIs directly, given the ability to mix the languages. iOS is Unix underneath, so the library uses POSIX APIs in many places. For Android, the NDK (native development kit) can be used to compile native libraries. To use these from Java code, it’s necessary to use JNI (java native interface) to interface between the two languages, which requires the development of wrapper functions. The public API exposed by the library (which is still undecided at present) is fairly small, so we won’t need to write a lot of code to enable it to be integrated into Android apps. The editor itself is written in JavaScript, and can run in a web view (or theoretically a browser, though it needs some fixes for this first). — Dr Peter M.
