The LEADTOOLS HTML5 / JavaScript interface was built with more than just web-based, cross-platform application development in mind. Did you know you can also create native and hybrid apps that can be published to mobile application stores for iOS, Android and Windows Phone? That is actually the case for almost any HTML5 application, but there are libraries and tools that help make that process easier.

One such tool is Intel XDK. In the same way that LEADTOOLS expedites and simplifies all of your imaging requirements such as display, annotations, OCR, barcode, DICOM, PACS and more, Intel XDK helps with the deployment and device integration aspect. Need access to the camera, local files and more? Want to write only one application and deploy it to multiple app stores? This is all possible with Intel XDK, and LEADTOOLS plugs into this innovative development environment without a hitch.

JavaScript frameworks. Love them, hate them, or die on a digital hill proclaiming the wonders of the newest and most cleverly named prefix to "JS," they all just boil down to something to help you build a web application. Thankfully, the LEADTOOLS HTML5/JavaScript Document Viewer can work with any of them, and we've had a recent wave of requests from customers wanting to integrate our viewer into the JavaScript framework they are using in their project.

The latest update of LEADTOOLS V19 includes an MVC project using the LEADTOOLS DocumentViewer. Additionally, the services have been refactored so that the services configuration part of this paper is out of date and no longer applies. However, we have decided to continue to make this paper available because there is useful information on configuring CORS in IIS that applies to many different applications.

If you have any questions about how to use the LEADTOOLS DocumentViewer in an MVC application, please contact support@LEADTOOLS.com.
