GWT JSON Overlay

Created October 15, 2017

The Google Web Toolkit JSON Overlay library provides the JSON Overlays that can be used to access the Web service API for this application.

String url = ...;
RequestBuilder request = new RequestBuilder(RequestBuilder.GET, url);
request.sendRequest(null, new RequestCallback() {
  public void onResponseReceived(Request request, Response response) {
    if (200 == response.getStatusCode()) {
      //handle the successful data...
      JavaScriptObject data = JavaScriptObject.fromJson(response.getText());
      //handle the JavaScriptObject...
    }
    else {
      //handle the error...
    }
  }

  public void onError(Request request, Throwable throwable) {
    //handle the error...
  }
});
    

JavaScript Client Library

Created October 15, 2017

The JavaScript client-side library defines classes that can be (de)serialized to/from JSON. This is useful for accessing the resources that are published by this application, but only those that produce a JSON representation of their resources (content type "application/json").

The library uses ES6 class syntax which has limited support. See MDN and the ES6 Compatibility Table for more details.

The library contains a UMD loader which supports AMD, CommonJS and browser globals. The browser global variable name for this library is "javascriptClient".

//read the resource in JSON:
var json = JSON.parse(jsonString);

//create an object
var object = new Object(json);

//retreive the json again
var newJson = object.toJSON();

//serialize the json
var newJsonString = JSON.stringify(newJson);
    

PHP JSON Client Library

Created October 15, 2017

The PHP JSON client-side library defines the PHP classes that can be (de)serialized to/from JSON. This is useful for accessing the resources that are published by this application, but only those that produce a JSON representation of their resources (content type "application/json").

This library requires the json_encode function which was included in PHP versions 5.2.0+.

//read the resource in JSON:
$json = ...;

//read the json as an array.
$parsed = json_decode($json, true);

//read the json array as the object
$result = new Object($parsed);

//open a writer for the json
$json = $result->toJson();
    

Ruby JSON Client Library

Created October 15, 2017

The Ruby JSON client-side library defines the Ruby classes that can be (de)serialized to/from JSON. This is useful for accessing the REST endpoints that are published by this application, but only those that produce a JSON representation of their resources (content type "application/json").

This library leverages the Ruby JSON Implementation, which is required in order to use this library.

require 'net/https'
require 'uri'
//...

//read a resource from a REST url
url = URI.parse("...")
request = Net::HTTP::Put.new(url.request_uri)
input = Object.new
//set up the Object...
request.body = input.to_json
request['Content-Type'] = "application/json"

http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
//set up additional http stuff...
res = http.start do |ht|
  ht.request(request)
end

result = Object.from_json(JSON.parse(res.body))

//handle the result as needed...
