Take a look at: https://github.com/gabipetrovay/node-orientdb
That project has come along nicely, and uses the binary protocol exclusively. I would like to see a rewrite (preserving most of the API) of the REST-backed JS lib that ships with OrientDB, in terms of the request and browser-request libraries: https://github.com/mikeal/request https://github.com/iriscouch/browser-request or maybe superagent: https://github.com/visionmedia/superagent The idea would be to write a single JS lib which has the same API whether you're in a NodeJS environment or a browser environment. If you're running on node, then you would be able to require('orient-js') [or whatever it's called] and it would work automatically; while "ender" could be used to package it up for browsers: http://ender.no.de/ There would be a couple of benefits. One, it would remove jQuery as a dependency, with respect to the underlying HTTP requests. Also, request / browser-request and superagent are designed to use asynchronous requests, whereas Orient's jQuery-backed lib uses synchronous ones (could be rewritten to be asynchronous, of course). If callback driven programming isn't your thing, the methods exposed by this hypothetical library should be easily wired into a promises library like Q, or wrangled with the ever-popular "async" library: https://github.com/kriskowal/q https://github.com/caolan/async (both of those are designed to work in node and in browsers) …….I've been wanting to do this, just haven't had time. ------- Another idea I have is to use the node-java package to bridge directly into the JVM and expose-proxy OrientDB's Java API through a node library: https://github.com/nearinfinity/node-java I've tried it, and it works! The question is how to best and robustly build a javascript API around calls into the java API … I'm not sure yet. -- Michael Bradley, Jr. On May 7, 2012, at 10:54 PM, TheOutlander wrote: > Did you ever find or build one?
