The NGClient is web based Servoy client technology, which depends on AngularJS framework for all form elements. It futher more depends heavily on the HTML5 specification and upcoming webcomponent specification. Every form element in the NGClient is a webcomponent which can be modified or forms can utilize your own webcomponents.
A webcomponent is an isolated piece of UX which is reusable in forms/pages. Servoy does require a specification file for a webcomponent in order to make it usable in the form designer. The specification file is therefor Servoy specific and additional to AngularJS.
