Adding NoSQL database support may be a trivial matter...

averydc

Hello,

I don't know if this may help you, but I have worked with a NoSQL database called CouchDB for some time now. Its API is completely RESTful, so you can perform CRUD and query it with simple HTTP requests. It can be installed locally (there are binaries/wrappers for both Android and iOS), or connect to a web server instance in the cloud (Linux/Windows/Mac servers are available - managed Cloud services as well). See my tutorial series here if you want to learn more: http://averydc.com/ee/index.php/blog/couchdb_extjs4_a_winning_combination/

Anyway, to fully utilize CouchDB's api, your URLLoader class will need to support two additional HTTP verbs (PUT and DELETE). Is it bold of me to ask that this be added to a future release? It may be drop dead simple to add full database support to your framework, if this is all that is needed.

Thanks.

Hi Shane,

Your request is added to this URL:

This is a place we collect feature requests and ideas. In case you missed it...

Making URLLoader support basic REST opens many possibilities, not just CouchDB. There are a lot of APIs, both NOSQL databases and web services that use that.

@stoffe adding any *sql db to Gideros will be a straightforward process using plugins, therefore we decided not to implement this in core Gideros API.

Mmhh, but you will add REST to the URLLOADER, right?

@stoffe @MikeHart exactly. PUT and DELETE will be added.
