  • Patent number: 12204604
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a template driven interface system having a parsing engine that may dynamically render web forms given a specification document. In some instances, the architecture may leverage the specification document and enable creation, management, and eventual decommissioning actions. The architecture may be framework-agnostic, allowing for adaptive and agile development of end user interfaces for services developed by different entities or product providers. The different entities may be external entities having control over their assets and related asset schemas. The architecture may allow for real-time updates as compared to scheduled release cycles.
