title: Basics of XML view in SAPUI5
body: <p>I've been studying sapui5 framework for some time now and I always used javascript views in my applications.</p>
  <p>The question is - are there reasons why should I prefer xml views over javascript, if I should do it at all? If there are some, what are they?</p>
  <p>If I want to start trying to write xml views, what is the best place to learn the basic syntax and where can I find API reference for controls created using xml? The SAPUI5 <a href="https://sapui5.netweaver.ondemand.com/sdk/#docs/api/symbols/sap.ui.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">API</a> is written for use with javascript.</p>
  <p>Thanks.</p>
