native mobile styling guide describes structures in xml instead of JS

i don't understand why the description of the widgets styles are formatted in xml and not JS. Can we make any use of this XML version ?

why not sharing it formatted in js as a snippet to be directly used ?

For example : carousel https://docs.mendix.com/refguide/native-styling-refguide#11-25-carousel

Structure is described in XML in documentation

</container>
<cardLayout>
    </slideItem>
    </inactiveSlideItem>
    </indicator>
    <pagination>
        </container>
        </dotStyle>
        </inactiveDotStyle>
        </dotContainerStyle>
        </text>
    </pagination>
</cardLayout>
<fullWidthLayout>
    </slideItem>
    </inactiveSlideItem>
    </indicator>
    <pagination>
        </container>
        </dotStyle>
        </inactiveDotStyle>
        </dotContainerStyle>
        </text>
    </pagination>
</fullWidthLayout>

but it's implemented in JS

export const myCarouselStyle = {
    container: {
        height:"100%"
    },
    cardLayout: {
        slideItem:{
            height:"100%"
        }
    },
    fullWidthLayout: {
        slideItem:{
            height:"100%"
        }
    }
}

Hello @NicolasBRUNAUD,

I have changed the language in this document to be more accurate. Specifically, instances that erroneously referred to styling properties now properly refer to a widget's "internal structure".

Furthermore, your feedback has led us to creating a wider-ranging widget styling improvement project for the documentation. It will contain diverse improvements and will be finished in the coming months.

Thank you for contributing to the documentation,

Connor
