# 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.
