Thanks Tom 1. I haven't looked at NTK, I'll check it out. But it seems a bit bulky to use it just for the json implementation, you know? We already use 4D's web server behind apache, which works great for us.
2. What I need to do is push data into the 4D db. So if we're doing imports or pushing in a lot of data that we have manipulated with js or an external app like with rails or php. Other than sending over data sets in json, how to get data pushed back to 4D for processing and updating into the 4D db? My plan was push json into an A4D rowset via json and process the data that way. Sound reasonable? Or am I making this more complicated?
