Hi Jason, Royale offers AMF since it is a very good way to send and receive data. The security layer can be https as it was before. I also could say that since AMF is not as popular as other communication ways, it's more secure.
Benign said that Royale offers the rest of usual formats in Flex (like HTTPService), but also other more compliant with web standards like REST/JSON. So you can choose things more "actual" or going with AMF if you want. In the end I think you have more options. is AMF the way to go? My opinion is: it depends... If I'd go with a huge system, I'd invest in AMF since is very good. For me it continue to be the best. But if I'm going to do some mash up with other services, then probably will go with REST/JSON or HTTPService since I'd only be a "consumer" of info from another source and they probably will put on that format. You have a java blazeds example in our repo /examples/amf and a client (use MXRoyale version). And also there's lots of emails in user and dev lists here from people asking mostly the same all time, so you can learn from the start of many others with Royale and AMF HTH Carlos El mié, 17 feb 2021 a las 3:52, Jason Fillman (<[email protected]>) escribió: > Nearly a decade ago I stepped away from Flex, and all programming, and > went another way. > > I have long had an interest to produce apps in the healthcare space and > really felt the broad device support that Flex offerred could address many > challenges with players in that space, but the changes to support and > unclear future of Flash and Flex, really changed things. > > I have recently started looking around again, finding Royale, compiling a > couple sample apps and trying to see what I could learn, but basically > starting over, having forgotten most things. > > My question to the group, realizing this is really an opinion question, is > the appropriateness of Royale and AMF for solutions that require very > strong data security and encryption. > > Seems like AMF is the preferred choice for data integration, but doesn't > seem to have been updated in several years.
