Which 'same source' do you mean ? If you mean that the RTL is the same, then
yes, obviously. We cooperate with them.

I believe Mattias Gartner has plans for a TReader/TWriter set of classes that
generate .pas code instead of a .dfm. So maybe you should contact him.

In lazarus he file has extra properties. Check the pas2jsdsgn package,
pjsdsnregister unit, line 525:

     HTMLFIle.CustomData[PJSIsProjectHTMLFile]:='1';

This is how we recognize the file.
