Many people think that Mini Programs were first launched by WeChat. In fact, DCloud is the pioneer of this industry.
DCloud began to develop applet technology in 2012 to optimize the function and performance of webview, and joined the W3C and HTML5 China Industry Alliance, and launched the HBuilder development tool to prepare for subsequent industrialization.
In 2015, DCloud officially commercialized its own small program, the product name is "streaming application", it is not a light application of B/S mode, but an app that can approach native functions and performance, and is click-to-use. It can be downloaded and used at the same time.
In order to carry forward the technology, DCloud donated the technical standard to the [HTML5 China Industry Alliance] (https://www.html5plus.org/) under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and promoted the access of various traffic giants to the standard to develop small program business.
360 Mobile Assistant took the lead to access, and realized the application running in seconds in its 3.4 version.
Subsequently, DCloud promoted Dianping, Ctrip, JD.com, Youdao Dictionary, Vipshop and many other developers to provide applications for the streaming application platform.
In September 2015, DCloud promoted the WeChat team to carry out the mini program business, demonstrated many scenarios and cases of streaming applications such as instant-opening applications, scanning codes to obtain applications, and sharing links to obtain applications, and shared the experience of webview experience optimization.
After analysis, the WeChat team decided to launch the mini program business in early 2016, but it did not access the alliance standards, but customized its own standards.
DCloud continues to popularize the concept of mini-programs in the industry, and promotes major traffic giants, including mobile phone manufacturers, to launch services such as mini-programs/quick apps one after another.
Some companies have access to the alliance standards, but more companies have serious conflicts of interest, and it is difficult to unify the standards.
Technology is pure and should not be divided because of commercial interests. It is not the right thing for developers to face so many proprietary standards.
The chaos was not what DCloud wanted. So we decided to develop a free and open source framework.
Since the giants cannot agree on standards, this framework is used to smooth out the differences between platforms for developers.
This is the origin of uni-app.
- Because of years of accumulation, it is not surprising that DCloud has more than 8 million developers
- Because DCloud has always had the iOS and Android engines of the applet, it is not surprising that the App side of uni-app and the applet side are highly consistent
- Because of DCloud's continuous investment in the engine, it is not surprising that the App-side functions and performance of uni-app are better than most small program engines
- Because DCloud knows too much about each applet, it is not surprising to do a cross-end framework that smoothes out the differences between each end
Now, uni-app is the most popular application framework in the industry, supporting a huge ecosystem of 1.2 billion active mobile phone users.
The world goes round and round, and when you take the first step, a lot of things don't go the way you expect. But as long as you don't forget your original intention, the goal you want will eventually be achieved in a different way.
What is the original intention of DCloud?
- Provide developers with free and efficient development tools, so that there are no difficult applications in the world
- Improve the application form to allow users to obtain digital services more conveniently
DCloud also promises again that it will not charge for uni-app, HBuilderX and other tools. Thanks to millions of developers for their company along the way, please always supervise us and not forget our original intentions!
