RE: HTTP is the Native API of the Web. IMHO, web developers should just design for HTTP

in Proof of Brain3 years ago

Thanks for the reply. I was worried that the post wasn't going to make sense. But you summed it up perfectly.

Every programming language on the Internet has a way to interface with HTTP. Most programmers know how to send post and get requests from the language of their choice.

I believe that if the HIVE developers decided that HTTP was the primary interface and concentrated on writing code for a given set of HTTP requests that they would end up with a system that was both easier to maintain and extend.

So, imagine some bank with half of their code written in COBOL. COBOL can send and receive HTTP requests. The financial analysts who are stuck doing everything in PL/SQL can send HTTP requests.

Beem and dhive.js still have their place. They are great for people who want to concentrate on developing full fledged HIVE based web sites.

Financial institutions that just want a quick way to integrate some crypto into their current products would prefer the HTTP route as they could integrate HIVE just by adding a few HTTP calls to their current programs.
