Goals

Siam aims to provide a simple and additive API to keep your Flex implementation DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself).

For instance, you have a field in your Flex application that should show a Currency Amount in dozen places, you probably want to use a a TextField, some validators, and a CurrencyFormatter or perhaps even some custom item renderer. You think about it as a Currency Amount. If you decide to change that field, you would have to do "monkey work" and go find all the instances of that field and keep them up to date.

Siam allows you to describe via metadata how your model properties should be represented across your application.
