Generating responsive web pages using SuperSQL

Abstract

With the rapid spread of smartphones and tablets, it is becoming necessary for web developers to create responsive web pages which are visually appealing on devices of various sizes. However, building responsive UIs is a very challenging task, requiring deep knowledge of HTML and CSS. In this paper, we propose an approach to generate responsive web pages using SuperSQL, which is an extension of SQL that can format data retrieved from a database into various kinds of structured documents. Our approach applies the methodology of Bootstrap, a grid-based framework for front-end development, to generate responsive web pages from SuperSQL queries. By combining SuperSQL's capability of expressing complex layout structure with the systematic use of Bootstrap, we aim to establish an uncomplicated method of developing responsive web pages that do not require expertise in front-end web development.
