What is JsRIA

JsRIA means Javascript Rich Internet Application.

JsRIA is a framework enabling rich client interface development. It's pure javascript and is completely independant of the server side technology.
The client interface is described by an xml file (or dynamically in javascript if you need that).
JsRIA is completely object oriented (javascript components, xml description, css style) and you can very easily build a hierarchy for your interface objects.
You also can use AJAX technology to bring really dynamic interface to your users.
Numerous functions are provided to parse and use xml flux coming from your server.

Status

JsRIA is still very young (but all AJAX / Rich Client technologies are, isn't it ? ;-) )
It's actually used to build a rich client interface for MarcoPolo.

Concepts

The user interface to build is described in xml file. The application load this file using XmlHttpRequest and parse it, building javacript objects related to each element of the user interface components. This objects must be of the javabeans kind (they must have a constructor with no parameter and setters and getters for each public attribute).
Example :




<list id="myList">

<button text="button1"/>

</list>

will be generating the following code :




var liste = new Liste();

liste.setId("myList");

var button = new Button();

button.setText("button1");

liste.add(button);
