Dan Becker commented on TUSCANY-2568:
-------------------------------------
The first thing I did when assessing this requirement was to search the web for
existing JavaScript libraries that could model and parse items in the Atom
Publishing Protocol. Unfortunately, most of the links I found seemed to be
poorly maintained, proprietary, or little support. If people have a favorite
JavaScript/APP library, please let me know.
The one exception to my search was the Google GData JavaScript client. They
have support for atom feeds in the google.gdata.atom package. I think that part
of the GData API can be used to parse and display Atom feeds and would help
facilitate client side programming for Tuscany when using the Tuscany Atom
Collection APIs.
The other option I am evaluating is writing a Tuscany JavaScript library from
scratch. Although users of the Abdera Java library might think the model
library is huge, in reality the Atom Pub Protocol has very few main objects:
Category, Email, Entry, Feed, Generator, Id, Link, Name, Person,
Published/Updated, Text, and Uri. If most of these items are modeled as Strings
and Dates, a home grown Tuscany JavaScript library is not very large, and
certainly will not be as detailed and in-depth as the Abdera Java model.
So the tradeoff is use a popular API from Google and have a dependency on an
external provider, or use a home grown API. I am still evaluating both, but I
think I am leaning toward the later (homegrown Tuscany JavaScript library). The
whole goal is aid Tuscany client programming. What do others think which route
is more desireable and which features are needed?

> Project: Tuscany
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Java SCA ATOM Binding Extension
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Dan Becker
> Assignee: Dan Becker
> Fix For: Java-SCA-Next
>
>
> - A proper Javascript object model for an Atom collection and Atom entries to
> facilitate the use of Atom in Javascript clients, modeled after the Abdera
> model for collection and entry.
> - A Javascript model for Atom collections and entries mirroring the Tuscany
> Java data.Collection interface, providing simple access to business data
> objects in an Atom collection.
