HopObjects extend the JavaScript object and you control them using server-side JavaScript. They got all the common features you know from JavaScript. Besides, Helma provides special templating features to ease the rendering of objects for the Web.
HopObjects extend the native JavaScript object. They got all the common features you know – and more. One highlight are the special templating features to ease the rendering of objects for the Web.
Combine HopObjects to create a hierarchical structure. A URL in Helma mirrors this structure. Each part of the URL path corresponds to a relational database mapping. It is similar to the document tree of static websites. Helma’s URL space is an analogy of the Document Object Model implemented in client-side JavaScript.
