It seems that JSON is becoming pretty language-independent (http://json.org/
). So maybe XML is less important. Also, EcmaScript 5 will have
native JSON import/export which is quite powerful.

This is very cool!
I've been wanting to update the laszlo-rails client code for a while
now to keep a dataset in sync with a server-side model
automatically. When the dataset value is changed, the corresponding
object on the server should be automatically updated. Paging for
large datasets was also supported. Both of these are very useful
for tabular data, but they currently require XML data - because
datasets do. JSON isn't as useful in many cases because there's no
way to do replication and receive change events in Laszlo - but it's
certainly lighter-weight, and partially solves the typing problem
that XML data requires a schema for...
In any case, the client/server protocol should use XML or JSON so it
can be implemented for other server-side languages.

Hi,
I've been a Laszlo user for more than 3 years and, as you maybe
know, I manage the Italian community.
In my development experience I always missed a powerful tool to
integrate OL apps with Java back-ends.
This need made me create my own tool that I published as a
googlecode project.
You can see it as an alternative to OL java-rpc, but I think it can
be also seen as a start line to make OL users' life easier.
My question is: which features should such a tool provide to be
really useful and can it be a good way to make OL adoption wider?
This is my way to contribute to OL according to Tucker's manifesto <http://forum.openlaszlo.org/showthread.php?t=12997

Bests,
Quirino
