Universal Rendering and the GBC

As well as being a front-end client, the Genero Browser Client (GBC) is also used as the rendering engine for Universal Rendering.

Universal Rendering is used for all Genero clients, including Genero Desktop Client (GDC), Genero Mobile for Android™, and Genero Mobile for iOS. It provides a common rendering solution which unifies the display of applications on all Genero front-ends.

Multiple versions of the GBC may be available, due to customization or updates. Each Genero front-end has rules that determine which GBC is used for Universal Rendering. To specify the GBC that is used:

• For applications delivered by the Genero Application Server (GAS), see Working with Genero Browser Client in the Genero Application Server User Guide.
• For the GDC, see Specify which GBC to use in the Genero Desktop Client User Guide.
• For mobile apps:
  • If you are packaging using gmabuildtool or gmibuildtool, see Building Android apps with Genero or Building iOS apps with Genero in the Genero Business Development Language User Guide.
  • If you are packaging using Genero Studio, see Packaging for a mobile device in the Genero Studio User Guide.
• For developing applications in Genero Studio, see Configure for a GUI client and Configure for the Web client in the Genero Studio User Guide.
