# Interactive Menus
|
|
## Markup Language Introduction
|
|
For interactive menus the FOpen Interactive Markup language is used, a comepletely ad-hoc declarative solution. While the older consumer alternatives for HD physical media used technologies like Java (BD-J on Blu-ray) and Web-Based Technologies (HDi on HD DVD), they all come with different costs and disadvantages:
|
|
|
|
- BD-J uses a complex Java ME platform
|
|
- Web technologies rapidly evolve, making web-based menus too dependent on web engines
|
|
|
|
While making everything from scratch like DVD did in the past makes the standard harder to prototype and implement, it prevents the disadvantages previously listed. |
