ServerJS

This site is a starting point for collecting up ideas, links and any draft API suggestions for the serverjs group. Discussions occur on that mailing list and on IRC (#serverjs on freenode).

Current Efforts

This is a list of issues currently being discussed / standardized. They come from the "Low level" department, as we need to have a solid basics prior to building a tower.

1. Modules
2. Filesystem API
3. Binary Data Objects (byte arrays and/or strings)
4. Encodings and character sets
5. System Interface (stdin, stdout, stderr, &c)
6. C unified API to our Target Platforms

Future Efforts

Low-level APIs

This is the collection of APIs that we'd like to see behaving consistently across JavaScript interpreters.

• Language and Runtime Services
• Socket I/O (TCP/IP)
• Command line processing
• Logging
• Relational database interface
• ResultSets (collections of data maybe from RDBMS, maybe from other sources)
• Web server to application interface (plus middleware)
• Concurrency

High-level APIs

This is the collection of APIs that implement common functionality on top of the low-level API.

• HTTP client APIs
• Email
• Jabber (XMPP)
• Internationalization
• Unit testing
