The SQL-based All-Declarative FORWARD Web Application Development Framework

Summary: FORWARD is an SQL-based, all-declarative framework that unifies browser UI, server application logic, and database access to remove the language-impedance mismatch in web apps. Declarative specs for app logic, data integration and AJAX partial updates replace plumbing code, improving responsiveness and developer productivity. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
