JSON-RPC and cookies
Today’s releases of the JSON-RPC 2.0 Client (version 1.6) and JSON-RPC 2.0 Shell (version 1.10) include support for handling HTTP cookies, just like browsers do. These latest updates came about after a developer in Norway wrote that the JSON-RPC software was not working as expected against the web API of a particular service provider. A […]
JSON-RPC for Android apps
Thanks to user feedback I recently discovered that the JSON-RPC 2.0 Base and related libraries and JSON-RPC shell are finding increasing use in Android applications, mostly to hook to remote JSON-RPC services. While I’m not really into mobile gadgets and don’t own a smart phone, I do sense there is usefulness in mobile apps to […]
CORS requests and cookies
Today I received a question regarding the Java CORS Filter and browser cookies: Does your filter take care about the sessions? For each CORS request I get a different JSESSIONID.

JSON-RPC 2.0 Base flies with the new JSON library
Two years after its initial release the JSON-RPC 2.0 Base library switches to a new package for representing and parsing JSON messages. The result is 2x to 4x times faster performance in JSON-RPC message parsing! Back in 2009 I chose JSON Simple for its simple and relatively non-invasive model for representing and mapping JSON entities […]
LDAP directory in the cloud
Json2Ldap hit the cloud this month. I’ve always wanted to put up an online demo for the JSON web service for LDAP directory access and this is reality now. If you visit the NimbusDS website you’ll see a new Json2Ldap demo page where you can play with three Ajax directory applications: Online employee directory: Presents […]
Json2Ldap offers new LDAP utility functions
Json2Ldap, the LDAP gateway for accessing directory servers from web devices and browser applications, now offers a new set of utility functions. These are related to distinct name (DN) processing and search filters. This new functionality is available in the latest Json2Ldap 1.8, which was released on 17 March. Here I’ll give you a brief […]
JSON-RPC 2.0 Shell, version 1.6
Today I sent an email to my growing JSON-RPC 2.0 Shell fan base that a new release has come out. So, what is new in the latest 1.6 version? Pretty JSON formatting now has extra options. With the -p, –pretty (compact|regular|off) command line option you can now select between two formatting styles or turn pretty […]
