Dear Experts,
Please explain the technical differences between SAPUI5 apps and SAP Fiori apps.
Thanks,
Venkatesh.
Venkatesh,
SAPUI5 is the the technology. Fiori is just a name given by SAP for their SAPUI5 apps.
Fiori apps are developed using SAPUI5. And in addition Fiori has certain additional administrational activities to setup apps.

SAPUI5 is a JavaScript Framework
FIORI is superset of SAPUI5, uses SAPUI5 framework with oData and SAP business layer and is an end to end application launched on Fiori Launchpad only.
FIORI apps are built by SAP
FIORI-like apps can be built by any one - those use SAPUI5 framework.
Fiori Apps run only for Fiori LaunchPad in gateway/Portal/Cloud
SAPUI5 apps can run without Fiori LaunchPad or inside
If you want to make your SAPUI5 app a Fiori-like App, then you need to follow certain guidelines and best practices (I am still searching what they are).
Also all FIORI apps created by SAP run on OData Services
SAPUI5 apps can run on JSON or OData Services
FIORI apps need to have ECC/CRM or any SAP business Layer as they use OData
SAPUI5 apps - no dependency on SAP ECC/CRM etc..
FIORI apps can be deployed on on SAP Gateway/Cloud
SAPUI5 apps can be deployed on SAP Portal or Tomcat or SAP Gateway or Cloud any WebServer.
- hope this will clarify.
I am not sure about Standard FIORI apps, but if you are building FIORI-Like apps using SAPUI5 framework/technology, you can use any backend or any RESTFUL service like either JSON or oData depends on your backend.
FIORI is just not UI - it will have other components like UI, oData Services, Components in ECC/CRM/HANA - combines with Fiori Launchpad & theme designer.
There are lot of prerequisists and technical requirements and Rapid Deployment and configuration documents in SCN and help.sap.com for standard fiori apps.
Here are some of the requirements:
SAP Fiori App Types and Database Requirements - SAP Fiori for SAP Business Suite - SAP Library
SAPUI5 is library not an app.Custom apps created using SAPui5 library are called SAPUi5 apps.
Fiori apps are the standard apps(apps following some SAP standards) provided by SAP which you can extend and modify using SAPUi5.

Hey,
SAPUI5 is a technology or framework (JavaScript, HTML, CSS) to create Apps.
Fiori is a design concept. If you build your Apps with SAPUI5 and follow this Fiori design concepts you get a fiori-like application.
