Effective today, Macromedia has formally transitioned responsibility for the Web Distributed Data Exchange (WDDX) Web site to a third party. All information that has been posted to the WDDX Web site, wddx.org, can now be found at http://www.openwddx.org. WDDX is an XML-based technology that enables the exchange of complex data between applications, creating what some refer to as 'Web syndicate networks' and enabling Web Services. Allaire created WDDX in order to solve key problems in exchanging data between Web applications. In particular, Simeon Simeonov, Allaire's chief architect, created WDDX to support problems of distributed computing within ColdFusion. This work was generalized into a cross-language framework, and resulted in the creation of the WDDX SDK and WDDX.org. Nate Weiss, an independent Web developer, with the support of Allaire and a number of other third parties, created the WDDX SDK. Transferring responsibility for this Web site is consistent with our overall goal of supporting this technology within the public domain. As creator of the technology, Allaire Corp. was at times perceived as the owner and formal supporter of the technology, and that WDDX was a proprietary technology. The establishment of OpenWDDX.org is intended to rekindle enthusiasm and acceptance of WDDX in the developer community, and confirm its role as an independent and enabling technology.
