3. JSON Class hinting ¶ There are only simple data types defined in JSON. To overcome this problem in a JSON compatible way a special property for objects is introduced. {"__jsonclass__":["constructor", [param1,...]], "prop1": ...} The object is then instantiated using the constructor, passing in the parameters. Once constructed the properties (prop1, ...) will be applied.

To give the serverside peer a chance to send messages to the client side peer, the client side peer may reopen communication by sending an empty HTTP POST.

--> {"method": "postMessage", "params": ["Hello all!"], "id": 99} <-- {"result": 1, "error": null, "id": 99} <-- {"method": "handleMessage", "params": ["user1", "we were just talking"], "id": null} <-- {"method": "handleMessage", "params": ["user3", "sorry, gotta go now, ttyl"], "id": null} --> {"method": "postMessage", "params": ["I have a question:"], "id": 101} <-- {"method": "userLeft", "params": ["user3"], "id": null} <-- {"result": 1, "error": null, "id": 101}

In computing, a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) consists of a string of characters used to identify or name a resource on the Internet. Such identification enables interaction with representations of the resource over a network (typically the World Wide Web) using specific protocols. Schemes specifying a specific syntax and associated protocols define each URI. Contents [hide]

A Uniform Resource Name (URN) functions like a person's name, while a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) resembles that person's street address. The URN defines an item's identity, while the URL provides a method for finding it. The ISBN system for uniquely identifying books provides a typical example of the use of typical URNs. ISBN 0486275574 (urn:isbn:0-486-27557-4) cites unambiguously a specific edition of Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet. In order to gain access to this object and read the book, one would need its location: a URL address. A typical URL for this book on a unix-like operating system might look like the file path file:///home/username/RomeoAndJuliet.pdf, identifying the electronic book saved in a local hard disk. So URNs and URLs have complementary purposes.
