Introduction

eden is a serializer/deserializer library using a subset of the ECMAScript notation, it allows to exchange and interpret data keeping the structure and the type.

eden RR is when you use the eden format to exchange data between a client and a server, as such you can consider eden as a messaging protocol.

This messaging protocol is text based and use the Hypertext transfer Protocol (HTTP) as its vehicule on the application level and follow the standards of URI (Uniforme Resource Identifier), MIME (Multipurpose Internet mail Extensions), etc.

By default this protocol use the text/ecmascript content-type and the UTF-8 character set as the default encoding scheme.

eden is made for people familiar with ECMAScript based language as JavaScript, JScript, ActionScript, etc. or any other C syntax based language as C/C++, C#, Java, etc. who want to exchange data keeping the structure and the type of the data in a text based data format.

If you can read or write code in one of these languages you can easyly use and understand eden.

eden only take care of the data structure, with the concern that XML is best suited for document structure.

Its goal is to provide a lightweight and readable format for developers who want to exchange objects while conserving the structure and the type of these objects.
