I don't package up the data at all. I just send a JS data structure to the
backend and everything else is done by the existing backends:
Qx frontend:
rpc.callAsync( callback, 'backend_method', data);
Perl backend:
sub backend_method {
my $error = shift;
my $data = shift;
}
Qx and the Rpc backend do all the magic for converting the frontend JS data
structure to JSON and then to the appropriate Perl data structure (an JS
array becomes a Perl array, a JS object becomes a Perl hash, etc).
I think all you need is already there. If you decide to write it from
scratch, I guess that might get complicated.
Cheers,
Fritz
