A neutral, source-cited survey of the Delphi web-UI frameworks a Delphi or C++ Builder team can reach for in 2026: sgcHTML, uniGUI, TMS WEB Core, IntraWeb, Elevate Web Builder and D2Bridge. Each solves the browser-UI problem differently — server-side or client-side, stateful or stateless, RAD designer or code-first. Every feature claim below links to the project's own documentation.
A one-paragraph summary of each framework, with a link to its official page. The detailed comparison is in the matrix below.
eSeGeCe · Commercial (free trial)
Server-side component library for Delphi, C++ Builder and .NET. 89 widgets — charts, grids, forms, scheduler, gantt, kanban, pivot, chat and authentication — render to standard Bootstrap 5.3 markup and stay interactive through htmx, with real-time updates pushed over the bundled sgcWebSockets server. Each request is stateless and the app deploys as a single executable with Bootstrap and htmx embedded. The same Tsgc* component API is available in Object Pascal and C#, and it builds on Delphi 7 through RAD Studio 13, C++ Builder, and .NET 8.
FMSoft · Commercial
Commercial Delphi web application framework by FMSoft. Applications are built in the RAD Studio form designer with DB-aware controls and rendered in the browser through a bundled Sencha Ext JS layer. Sessions are stateful: each user holds full component state in server RAM, so a busy application needs memory planning and session management. It ships a large visual component palette and a design-time experience close to native VCL development.
tmssoftware · Commercial
Commercial framework by tmssoftware that compiles Object Pascal to JavaScript, producing a client-side single-page application that runs entirely in the browser; your Delphi form events fire as JavaScript events. It ships a visual web form designer and Bootstrap / Material output, and requires Delphi 10.1 or later. A data-aware grid was added in v3.0 (2026). The compiled result is a set of static files that can be served from any web host or CDN.
Atozed Software · Commercial
Long-established commercial Delphi web framework by Atozed Software; a limited edition ships with RAD Studio. VCL-style forms are designed in the IDE and rendered server-side as HTML, with a stateful session per user. It is mature and familiar to Delphi developers. The generated markup predates modern Bootstrap layout, so a responsive, mobile-first result typically needs additional CSS work.
Elevate Software · Commercial
Commercial rapid application development environment by Elevate Software, with its own IDE and an Object Pascal dialect that compiles to JavaScript. Applications run client-side in the browser and talk to server modules, and native modules can be built for Delphi hosts. Version 3.x is current and actively maintained. Because the client is a compiled JavaScript application, the browser holds the UI state and the compiled result deploys as static files plus the server modules.
D2Bridge · Free / open source (LGPL)
Open-source (LGPL) bridge framework that publishes existing Delphi VCL forms to the web, generating a Bootstrap-based UI that mirrors the desktop form layout. It is a fast path to make a legacy VCL application reachable from a browser with minimal code changes, and it supports Delphi 10 Seattle through Delphi 13 as well as Lazarus. Sessions are stateful: each connected user drives a live form instance on the server.
