Introducing Itemscript

The Itemscript project proposes a standard provisioning language for rich web applications.

The Itemscript project is defining an efficient provisioning language for applications and components, including pages, widgets, datatypes and items to provide a standard, efficient, secure transport for AJAX rich web applications.

Itemscript enables iterative development on the client to accomodate new interfaces and styles without the need to recreate the provisioning layer. On the server side, Itemscript will enable easy addition or modification of data types and metadata without need to modify the code.

The Itemscript project will propose standards and provide working models for discussion, experimentation and further development in the open source community.

Itemscript is based on Javascript and JSON. Our reference implementations will run a GWT client, a Tomcat (JEE) application server and a mySQL database. We invite you to build a reference model of your chosen client side framework on Itemscript.

Itemscript intends to reduce time to solution and encourage iterative development as a means to improved business agility.
