This supports both XML and HTML templating. XML templating strategy helps to use XML view as a template. This templating is completely changed by an XML preprocessor on the source stage i.e., XML DOM at runtime prior to creation of SAPUI5 control tree from the XML source. HTML templating strategy enables you to combine text against properties in the model, text gets updated appropriately along with the change in property of the model.
