COMM

Description

XMLHttpRequest abstractor, and handler and utilities. The only public method is request The namespace also holds the following services:

Service Name	Service Description
COMM.Queue	Singleton, used for queuing tasks awaiting asynchronous requests to complete.
COMM.Session	Session key secure hashing service.
COMM.SessionWatcher	Polls server at regular intervals by reporting the client's local time.
COMM.Transporter	Automated synchronization service, pulls server data, tasks etc. The main server interface.
COMM.Values	Data value manager, handles synchronized data in both directions (server-client-server).
COMM.JSLoader	Loads Javascript libraries asynchronously.
COMM.JSONRenderer	Constructs nodes from JSON structures as GUI tree structures. Lowers the learning curve of GUI development, because Javascript knowledge is not required to define user interfaces. The main purpose is to ease the development of user interfaces by defining them as data on the server, converting the data to JSON GUI trees and letting the client handle the rest. The end result is the same as defining the structures in JavaScript code.
