Re: REST web service APIs

Yes,

EXTJS has a brilliant architecture in that regard.

You define a DataStore component that acts like a mirror an communicates
with the REST server and it is able to all thoughts of things.

The you define a Grid or a Form and connects it to the DataStore so events
and data is reflected back to the DataStore that then automatically
communicates
with the server.

Now for the dich digging programmers a DataStore has a column definition but
for us lazy programmers we don't code it into the DataStore component but
transfers the column descriptions as a header with the data from the Rest
service
and the Grid and Forms components is then able to see if a coded field is
defined
in the Data Store and if not, drop the field.

Yes, I understand. Ext.js is essentially a browser-based web services
client. It uses a REST web-service API to interact with a server. And CGI
programs that return XML or JSON formatted responses would qualify as
web-service providers.
