Binary Application Markup Language

<h2 id="generation">Generation</h2>
<p>An XAML file can be compiled into a Binary Application Markup Language file with the .BAML <a href="/facts/File_extension/cJgfAym4">extension</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> which may be inserted as a resource into a <a href="/facts/.NET_Framework/J6QDAUhP">.NET Framework</a> assembly. At run-time, the framework engine extracts the .BAML file from assembly resources, <a href="/facts/Parsing/nRKB01S3">parses</a> it, and creates a corresponding <a href="/facts/Windows_Presentation_Foundation/KTs9FcFn">WPF</a> visual tree or <a href="/facts/Workflow/Ig8zvxF2">workflow</a>. Having this format, the content is loadable faster during <a href="/facts/Runtime_(computing)/lCxKsrzB">runtime</a>, because the XAML is enriched by <a href="/facts/Lexical_analysis/T1JYWpIf">tokens</a>, and lexical analysis is completed.
