XML archetypes of TUI

Is there an xml archetype that represents each type yet ? The TUI code base has evolved into a pretty standard set of widgets these days , so it’s possible .

You can of course code gen the xml off the current code base and then build a system builder pattern based runner .

This would allow dynamic TUI , with no compilation , allowing edit and continue style of development.

It would allow domain experts, not just devs , to build TUI . The TUI would be a WYSIWYG , with xml attributes driving it via Designers that can arbitrate the Design time gui controls back into the xml .

Start by inventorying the current TUI widget types mentioned in the issue and assessing whether each can have an XML archetype. Define the scope and acceptance criteria for code generation, a builder-based dynamic runner, and designer-driven XML before implementation; the issue names no files or tests.
