Hi users,
As initially described in this thread [1] I am currently working on a javascript
client library for solr. The idea is based on a demo [2] that introduces a
reusable javascript widget client.
I spent the last weeks evaluating the best fitting technologies that ensure a
clean generic port of the demo into the solr project. The goal is to make it
easy to use and include in webpages on the one hand, and creating a clean
interface to the solr server on the other hand.
With this announcement, I want to ask the community for their experience with
solr and javascript and would appreciate feedback about this proposal:
- javascript toolkit: JQuery, because it is already shipped with the solr webapp
- Using a manager object on the client that holds all widgets and takes care of
the communication to the solr server.
- Using the JSONResponsewriter to get the data to the widgets so they could
update their ui.
These technologies seem to be the currently best ones IMHO, any
feedback/experiences welcome.
Regards,
matthias
