});SOAPjr - create clean, fast AJAX API's using JSON
November 28, 2008 - 10:43pm — robmanSOAPjr is the love child of SOAP and JR (JSON-RPC).
It let's jQuery developers handle multiple errors in a clean and efficient way, and makes it easy for server-side developers to provide clean and fast APIs. See http://SOAPjr.org/demos.html for a live working example.
Traditional SOAP is no longer the Simple Object Access Protocol it was initially designed to be. It's bloated and overly verbose making it bandwidth hungry and slow. It's also based on XML, making it expensive to parse and manipulate - especially on mobile or embedded clients. However, it's core Envelope/Head/Body design pattern is really useful for AJAX style API's.
SOAPjr uses a similar Envelope/Head/Body model, but instead of bloated and verbose XML it uses lightweight and easy to manipulate JSON. After all, there's no X in SOAP and it's Envelope/Head/Body concept is not bound in any way to requiring XML.
