Abstract
Disclosed is a system, method, and program for providing a plurality of translator programs for translating source code in a cross-platform computer language, such as Java, to program statements capable of executing on multiple operating system platforms. The translator programs determine whether a source code statement in an application program comprises an application program interface (API) that is a member of a set of standard API interfaces, such as the API interfaces specified in the W3C DOM specification. The translator programs determine from a mapping at least one native operating system API interface corresponding to the determined standard API interface. Native operating system API interfaces provide an implementation of the standard API interfaces. The translator programs further convert the source code statement comprising the standard API interface to the determined native operating system API interface. The translator programs allow the application program to include standard API interfaces and be capable of executing on multiple operating system platforms that implement the set of standard API interfaces.
