----------------------------------------
Summary: Kindly add an example how to use javascript binary
protocol in the browser
Key: THRIFT-4978
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4978
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Mario Emmenlauer
I've spent many days researching about how to use thrift binary protocol in the
webbrowser, so far with no clear result. There are many references across the
internet but they do not form a full picture.
According to my findings, the binary protocol works in nodejs, and supposedly
nodejs-thrift is also in other aspects "superior" to plain Javascript. But I
can not rally put my finger on any details. Furthermore it seems that nodejs
can be used in the browser via browserify, and there are some thrift issues and
commits that indicate that people have used this in the past.
However I completely fail to see how this works. I can generate thrift js
bindings but then I do not know where to go from there.
It would be really awesome if someone can extend the thrift documentation with
a full example of such a use case. Starting for example from the nodejs docs,
how can thrift be used in a webbrowser to connect to a
nodejs/Java/Python/C++/... server?
