Abstract

The internet infrastructure is steadily improving each year in the developed world, offering higher data rates at affordable prices. An unfortunate consequence of this is that modern webpages have increased in complexity, often including over 100 objects on a single webpage and relying on these higher data rates for a smooth user experience. However, users in developing regions, equipped with lower-end devices and slower internet, suffer the impact of the increased complexity of these webpages. To address these problems, we developed MAML, a novel web specification language that simplifies webpages, making them lighter and more accessible while retaining all important functionality. We also built an editor that allows developers to convert complex pages into MAML pages. In this demo, we show an example of how a MAML webpage is built in the editor. In addition, we also show how the MAML page would fair against its original counterpart in a head-to-head loading.
