1.5 Analysis of existing solutions and rationale for the proposed module/service technology

Alternative technologies of adobe flash (see figure 1.5, figure 1.6, figure 1.7):

Figure 1.5 – HTML5

Figure 1.6 – openfl

Figure 1.7 – Jangaroo

As you can see, the most common and universal tool is HTML5 – it is comprehensive enough to cover the needs and problems that arise when you are creating an application for web and mobile platforms. However, according to our experience, catching all bugs and sorting them out might take a lot of time. Each app should be tested, especially on mobile devices – each OS, each version of the device literally has its unique set of bugs. The tools like OpenFL and Jangaroo are interesting and seem promising, especially to the developers who are already using Flash and are principally unwilling to move to HTML5 or just do not have much time for learning all its intricacies. These tools are cross-platform, require no extra plugins and allow quick compilation of the existing code from Flash into another language. However, it is important to remember that these technologies are less documented and thus less predictable in use [11].
