That explains. I think it would make sense then to add a GNUstep extension for that. If I write something reasonable, I'll present it for public consideration. > Notably streaming only makes sense if you are really exchanging a LOT of data > (rather unlikely for typical JSON applications). > [...] > You should use JSON-RPC over HTTP My first version of the mail contained details that would explain the reasoning, but it went huge and I deleted this part before sending. I'm going to establish connection between a gnustep and non-gnustep application for data exchange. No relation to www whatsoever. JSON-RPC looked an ideal tool for that. Of course, whether it really is I would be able to tell only after the thing works (or not). > I have no idea why JSON-RPC encourages the use of a plain socket. This is starting to be off-topic, but why not?
