What's New in C++Builder

C++BuilderR XE4 delivers the best of both worlds - a highly-compliant C++11 64-bit Windows toolchain with an agile development solution. Use the latest C++ features and libraries while you speed your development process with C++Builder's visual development environment.

Deliver fast native applications across Windows and Mac

C++Builder includes VCL for building native Windows apps, and FireMonkey for developing native Windows and Mac apps. With C++Builder, you write a FireMonkey app once and then compile it for either platform. Your real native applications take advantage of the power and speed of the CPU and GPU.

And it's all done with the power and speed of component-based visual development that saves you time while still giving you full access to source code and hardware when you need it.

Fastest Path to Windows 8

Windows 8 is here and provides new opportunities for Windows developers. Whether you're looking to develop new apps for Windows 8 that run on desktops and x86 tablets or want to give your existing VCL and FireMonkeyR apps a new Windows 8 look, C++Builder XE4 makes it easy.

Higher Speed, Power and Capacity

C++Builder's 64-bit compiler architecture for Windows lets you access 64-bit APIs, device drivers, and system services directly for greater control, higher performance, and ultimately a better user experience for your app.

Visual LiveBindings

Visual LiveBindings let you connect user interface controls and datasets. No need to write expressions or do all your work in code. See the big picture and make your connections with drag-and-drop simplicity.

Access more databases, on more devices, more easily with FireDAC

FireDAC enables native high-speed direct access from your C++ apps to InterBase, SQLite, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, DB2, SQL Anywhere, Advantage DB, Firebird, Access, Informix, DataSnap and many more local/embedded, mobile and enterprise databases. Easily migrate from BDE and other technologies.

FireMonkey FM3 Application Platform

C++Builder XE4 leverages FireMonkeyR FM3, the next generation platform for building multi-device, true native apps from a single codebase. Visual components give you extendable and reusable building blocks for faster and highly maintainable development.
