Enyo is an open source JavaScript framework for cross-platform mobile, desktop, TV and web applications emphasizing object-oriented encapsulation and modularity.[2] Initially developed by Palm, which was later acquired by Hewlett-Packard and then released under an Apache 2.0 license.[3] 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.[4]
Libraries[]

- Onyx: Based on the original styled of webOS/Touchpad design but available for use on any platform.
- Moonstone: Used by LG SmartTV apps but available for use on any platform.
