Enyo is an open source JavaScript framework for cross-platform mobile, desktop, TV and web applications emphasizing object-oriented encapsulation and modularity.{{cite web|url=https://developer.palm.com/content/api/dev-guide/enyo.html |title=Developing Enyo Applications |accessdate=2011-12-30 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120104145438/https://developer.palm.com/content/api/dev-guide/enyo.html |archivedate=2012-01-04 }} Initially developed by Palm, it was later acquired by Hewlett-Packard in April 2010 and then released under an Apache 2.0 license.{{cite web | url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/hp-webos-enyo-app-framework-goes-open-source/ | title=HP: WebOS, Enyo app framework goes open source | website=ZDNet | access-date=2011-12-30}}{{Cite web |last=Deutscher |first=Maria |date=2010-11-22 |title=HP demonstrating Enyo for Palm's webOS |url=https://siliconangle.com/2010/11/22/hp-demonstrating-enyo-for-palm%e2%80%99s-webos/ |access-date=2023-07-20 |website=SiliconANGLE |language=en-US}} It is sponsored by LG Electronics and Hewlett-Packard.

Bootplate

Bootplate is a simplified way of creating an app, providing a skeleton of the program's folder tree. The Bootplate template provides a complete starter project that supports source control and cross-platform deployment out of the box. It can be used to facilitate both the creation of a new project and the preparation for its eventual deployment.{{cite web | url=https://github.com/enyojs/enyo/wiki/Bootplate | title=Bootplate Github | website=GitHub | accessdate=2012-07-24}}

Libraries
