An object oriented request based networking protocol suitable for almost all networking applications
The goal of Requests is to mimick standard function/method calls in an average programming language. Through this goal, Requests is very easy to integrate with your code.
A java bind of Requests is available -- see Requests.java. Below is the Requests standard.
If the data transmission is:
- a request, then this should be
request - the return value of a request, then this should be
return - representing a failure encountered while processing a request, then this should be
error
This is a unique ID representing a request so it can be identified.
The requestID should be a unique, random string (not including any commas) created at the time of the request's creation.
Keep it to a reasonable size.
The name is essentially the name of the "function" being called. Names are chosen when creating a protocol for an application and must not contain commas.
Used for parameters (if a request), a return value (if a return), or an error (if an error). This field can be anything, but JSON is recommended.
data can have commas in it, so watch out if you are making your own binding (don't just do a .split(','))!
