JSON Web Services Support in Dojo
25 March 2008Dojo 1.1 has expanded support for pluggable web services including JSON-RPC, REST, JSONP, and HTTP methods. This services can be defined with the new SMD specification.
SMD will provide a foundation to facilitate a future of pluggable interoperable SAO-based web services, where client and server components can be decoupled. Existing client/server frameworks tend to have tightly coupled communication, and applications built with standalone JavaScript libraries like the Dojo Toolkit generally must build their own client and server communication with the only assistance in the form of Ajax wrappers. With SMD, web services can be described with an open format, and client libraries can utilize these SMD descriptions to build high-level friendly communication wrappers.
