# UI5 Legacy-Free

abap2UI5-frontend-legacy-free is a frontend variant for abap2UI5 based on OpenUI5's legacy-free distribution. It removes deprecated features such as jQuery dependencies, synchronous APIs, and compatibility shims, providing a preview of the UI5 2.x API surface.

- Future-proof: applications stay compatible with UI5 2.x
- Leaner runtime: smaller footprint and improved performance
- Modern async patterns: asynchronous module loading and Promise-based APIs
- Runs in parallel to the classic abap2UI5 frontend, so both can be evaluated side by side
