APICloud supports Sublime, Webstorm, and Eclipse to develop cross-platform apps

On September 15, 2015, APICloud released the "Multi-Development Tool Support Strategy" on its first anniversary, expanding the support for cross-platform App development tools to include Sublime Text3, Eclipse, Webstorm, Notepad++, VIM, Aptana Studio3 and Microsoft's latest Visual Studio Code, etc. Users can choose their favorite development tools to develop cross-platform applications on the APICloud platform without having to change development tools.

APICloud CTO Zou Da elaborated on the attitude towards product and technology open source based on the three development stages of APICloud technology:
In ***, APICloud positioned itself as a technology company, using its core end engine and cloud engine to create a cloud-integrated product for the industry and developers.
In the second year, we entered the second stage of the company's strategic development, which is to become a platform company. The most important differences between platform companies and technology companies are openness and expansion. To become a platform company, APICloud should provide a basic technical support or establish a technical foundation of universal standards and specifications for the industry.
In the future, APICloud will be positioned as an ecological company, which includes demanders, developers, module developers and service providers. In the future, it aims to create a closed-loop win-win ecosystem.

Steps for APICloud to open products:
The first step: open source tools. APICloud has already done this, including fully open source technology for two mainstream tool products.
The second step: open API. This has already been done. APICloud itself is an open API company and will open more APIs this year. Developers only need to use the API to fully use APICloud's services.
***The goal is to open source the end engine and cloud engine.

APICloud open source standards and specifications:

The functions that APICloud has opened to the industry this time cover most of the technologies required in standardized cross-platform App development tools, including application creation, code prompts, code management, real-time preview, real-machine synchronization, local packaging, etc. All of them are open source in accordance with the GPL open source agreement, which advocates freedom and openness. In addition, APICloud will use the latest code for open source, and will open source all major functions without reservation. In fact, there are many open sources in the industry that are not open source with the latest code. APICloud does not want to make a gesture for open source, and will continue to maintain and update the code, and analyze and explain the functions and technologies.
With the development of different industries and the entire Internet, there are many similarities in needs and functions. APICloud encourages and welcomes other partners and peers in the industry to participate and jointly provide developers with better services.
***, APICloud also revealed a small surprise in advance. This month, Microsoft's global executive team visited China, led by the legendary Scott Gu, who is responsible for the products and strategies of Microsoft's global Azure cloud and enterprise services. APICloud was fortunate to have in-depth exchanges and discussions with Microsoft executives as one of the three Chinese exchange teams. APICloud plans to support Visual Studio to develop APICloud Apps in the form of plug-ins based on Eclipse support for development tools.
At this open source conference, APICloud released a variety of development tool support strategies to celebrate its own birthday and that of APICloud users, in order to promote a cooperative mentality in the development of the Chinese mobile platform industry ecosystem and serve developers and enterprises.
