Editing User interface markup language (section)

===WasabiXML===
'''WasabiXML''' is an XML markup language that is used to define the graphical interface in [[Wasabi (software)|Wasabi]] powered applications. It is most commonly used with [[Winamp]] for making Winamp [[skin (computing)|skins]]. WasabiXML had been developed by [[Nullsoft]] for Winamp, but it is also usable with other applications with the Wasabi [[Software development kit|SDK]].

The root element in WasabiXML is <code><WasabiXML></code> (for Winamp skins, it is also <code><WinampAbstractionLayer></code>). The <code><skininfo></code> element shows the information for a skin. The graphical interface is held by the <code><container></code> element and the basic viewable GUI element is <code><layout></code>. Following is an example for a simple [[GUI]] with a button element:

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<WinampAbstractionLayer version="1.2">
  <skininfo>
    <version>1</version>
    <name>mySkin</name>
    <comment>Ooo Lala</comment>
    <author>Some Person</author>
    <email>info@example.org</email>
    <homepage>http://www.example.org</homepage>
  </skininfo>
  <include file="xml/color-sys.xml"/> <!-- Include a file -->
  <container id="normal">
    <layout id="normal" desktopalpha="true">
      <button
        x="0" y="0"
        id="button.normal"
        image="mybutton.image"
        hoverimage="mybutton.himage"
        downimage="mybutton.dimage"
      />
    </layout>
  </container>
</WinampAbstractionLayer>
</syntaxhighlight>

WasabiXML supports many GUI elements including:

*<code><button></code>
*<code><text></code>
*<code><vis></code>
*<code><eqvis></code>
*<code><layer></code>
*<code><animatedlayer></code>
*<code><groupdef></code> used in conjunction with <code><group></code>

<code><groupdef></code> allows the developer to define a group of GUI objects which can be re-used anywhere in the skin. Wasabi also supports XUI's which are nothing but <code><groups></code> powered by a [[MAKI]] script allowing developers to create GUI components (widgets) of their own adding to modularity.

WasabiXML has an XML namespace 'Wasabi::' which defines common GUI's without having the need to declare their image paths.
