After analyzing the Google Data API and the code of binding-atom, binding-atom-abdera, and binding-feed, I propose an approach to start the development of the GData biding.
I propose creating a new type of binding: biding-gdata. Similarly as binding-atom-abdera, that extends the binding-atom, this new kind of binding would extend the binding-atom too. The implementation of the invokers (linke GetInvoker, PostInvoker, and PutInvoker) would be done using the GData Java Client, that provides tools and an abstract layer, abstracting the necessity of handling with HTTP requests/responses and XML's processing. The binding-gdata could extend the binding-rss aiming to allow RSS feeds. This approach looks like the binding-feed, but reusing the binding-atom and binding-rss, and using the GData Java Client to implement the invokers. What do you think about? -- Douglas Siqueira Leite Computer Science Master's degree student of University of Campinas (Unicamp)
