Overview

A basic use case for this plugin would be lazy loading content segments or performing cross-blog actions.
It includes a simple example for lazy loading widgets, but is mainly aimed for developers who like to built on top of this functionality.

Features:

  • Url Format in form of http://<blogname>/<server_entry_key>/<request_string>/<server_format_key>/<format> in order to allow server side caching of requests without setting up a huge set of rewrite rules. The request string contains all request parameters
  • Variable response formats. Comes with xml and json bundled in response.php but can be extended to your needs
  • Exceptions with custom exception handler are used throughout the classes to allow error feedback in the requested response format.
