Abstract

Aspects of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for content rendering. The method includes one or more processors retrieving at least one user interface (UI) component from a Document Object Model (DOM) tree. The method further includes one or more processors determining a corresponding rendering priority level (RPL) for each of the at least one UI component. The method further includes, in response to determining that the corresponding RPL of a first UI component of the at least one UI component is above a first threshold, one or more processors rendering the first UI component.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method for content rendering, the computer-implemented method comprising:
retrieving, by one or more processors, at least one user interface (UI) component from a Document Object Model (DOM) tree;
dynamically determining, by one or more processors, a first threshold by evaluating network bandwidth between a user and a server rendering a web application that includes the at least one UI component;
determining, by one or more processors, a corresponding rendering priority level (RPL) for each of the at least one UI component;
adjusting, by one or more processors, the corresponding RPL for each of the at least one UI component based on historical user interaction data between a plurality of users and respective instances of the at least one UI component; and
responsive to determining that the corresponding RPL of a first UI component of the at least one UI component is above the first threshold, rendering, by one or more processors, the first UI component.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein rendering the first UI component further comprises:
attaching, by one or more processors, the first UI component to a rendering tree.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
responsive to detecting a user interaction, responding, by one or more processors, to the user interaction.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , further comprising:
responsive to a completion of rendering the at least one UI component based on the first threshold and responsive to determining that a user interaction queue is empty of pending input user interactions, rendering, by one or more processors, a second UI component of the at least one UI component to the rendering tree responsive to the corresponding RPL of the second UI component being above a second threshold.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the second threshold is lower than the first threshold.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the corresponding RPL for each of the at least one UI component is pre-configured by a service provider of the content.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
responsive to detecting that network bandwidth between the user and the server rendering a web application corresponds to a low rendering bandwidth environment, skipping, by one or more processors, rendering of UI components with corresponding RPLs below a low-rendering threshold.

8. A computer program product for content rendering, the computer program product comprising:
one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to retrieve at least one user interface (UI) component from a Document Object Model (DOM) tree;
program instructions to dynamically determine a first threshold by evaluating network bandwidth between a user and a server rendering a web application that includes the at least one UI component;
program instructions to determine a corresponding rendering priority level (RPL) for each of the at least one UI component;
program instructions to adjust the corresponding RPL for each of the at least one UI component based on historical user interaction data between a plurality of users and respective instances of the at least one UI component; and
responsive to determining that the corresponding RPL of a first UI component of the at least one UI component is above the first threshold, program instructions to render the first UI component.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the program instructions to render the first UI component further comprise program instructions to:
attach the first UI component to a rendering tree.

10. The computer program product of claim 8 , further comprising program instructions, stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, to:
responsive to detecting a user interaction, respond to the user interaction.

11. The computer program product of claim 9 , further comprising program instructions, stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, to:
responsive to a completion of rendering the at least one UI component based on the first threshold and responsive to determining that a user interaction queue is empty of pending input user interactions, render a second UI component of the at least one UI component to the rendering tree responsive to the corresponding RPL of the second UI component being above a second threshold.

12. The computer program product of claim 8 , further comprising program instructions, stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, to:
responsive to detecting that network bandwidth between the user and the server rendering a web application corresponds to a low rendering bandwidth environment, skip rendering of UI components with corresponding RPLs below a low-rendering threshold.

13. A computer system for content rendering, the computer system comprising:
one or more computer processors;
one or more computer readable storage media; and
program instructions stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to retrieve at least one user interface (UI) component from a Document Object Model (DOM) tree;
program instructions to dynamically determine a first threshold by evaluating network bandwidth between a user and a server rendering a web application that includes the at least one UI component;
program instructions to determine a corresponding rendering priority level (RPL) for each of the at least one UI component;
program instructions to adjust the corresponding RPL for each of the at least one UI component based on historical user interaction data between a plurality of users and respective instances of the at least one UI component; and
responsive to determining that the corresponding RPL of a first UI component of the at least one UI component is above the first threshold, program instructions to render the first UI component.

14. The computer system of claim 13 , wherein the program instructions to render the first UI component further comprise program instructions to:
attach the first UI component to a rendering tree.

15. The computer system of claim 13 , further comprising program instructions, stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, to:
responsive to detecting a user interaction, respond to the user interaction.

16. The computer system of claim 14 , further comprising program instructions, stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, to:
responsive to a completion of rendering the at least one UI component based on the first threshold and responsive to determining that a user interaction queue is empty of pending input user interactions, render a second UI component of the at least one UI component to the rendering tree responsive to the corresponding RPL of the second UI component being above a second threshold.

17. The computer system of claim 13 , wherein the corresponding RPL for each of the at least one UI component is pre-configured by a service provider of the content.

18. The computer system of claim 13 , wherein the corresponding RPL for each of the at least one UI component is adjusted by a behavior model of a user of the at least one component
