| BAML(Binary Application Markup Language) is simply XAML which has been parsed, tokenized, and converted into binary form. Although any chunk of XAML can be represented by procedural code, the XAML-to-BAML compilation process does not generate procedural source code. So we can say that BAML is not like Microsoft intermediate language and it is a compressed declarative format that is faster to load and parse (and smaller in size) than plain XAML. BAML is just an implementation detail of the XAML compilation process without any direct public exposure, so it could be replaced with something different in the future. Nevertheless, it’s interesting to be awaare of its existence. | |
