16 Oct 2015, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, midas JSON-RPC interface
|
To improve on the existing HTTP "GET" based AJAX interface to MIDAS, I have been looking at other possible RPCs.
The JSON-RPC standard looks to be the most interesting and my experimental implementation now reached the point where other midas users are welcome to |

For interfacing to MIDAS just from browser javascript, the user does not need to know anything about JSON-RPC, all the user-level mjsonrpc_xxx() functions |

|
If using a synchronous AJAX call, such as "foo=ODBGet("/runinfo/state");", google chrome will prints this to the javascript console:
"Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to the end user's experience. For more help, check http://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/."

We're using mhttpd for calls that end up working better with asynchronous requests, and we've built up sort of a parallel, asynchronous library using javascript
Promises.

The JSON RPC branch has been merged into main MIDAS. Other than adding new functions, there are no changes to existing MIDAS functionality.
This is the current JSON RPC schema: (from the MIDAS Help page)

Here is (1) my promisified HTTP request function and (2) a function that uses the returned promises to build an asynchronous, sequential chain of requests |

I updated the links on the midas wiki to the doxygen-generated documentation for MIDAS that you
get after running "git clone midas; cd midas; make dox; firefox html/index.html".
