@metamourge in my whatever long carreer never once i have seen yaml being used unironically
-
@metamourge I’ve seen all kind of shit but not yml
-
@Alice I’ve read once that people still uses XML because of some pros cons compared to JSON, but I forgot
-
@devTea WSDL validation is handy, at least the api can't lie 😅
But yea I'll take json anyday. -
@C0D4 yeah, just remembering it somehow painful
-
@devTea I sill use soap 🧼... but only because I work with dinosaur companies that I realllllly don't trust with a REST api. They hardly keep their systems working as it is.
-
@C0D4 I’ve seen XML format on JSON string and then parse it back, can you beat that?
-
@devTea... jsonp inside xml would have to be near the top of my list, With some of the key data being XML node attributes.
Something like this:
<credentials user="x" pass="y">
<callback>callback("{'key':1,'key':2}")</callback>
</credentials>
I sometimes regret my life choices. -
You want to call a function? STOP!!!
Nowadays it is so amateur and old fashioned! Instead you must:
- Make a soap request
- Write a router to handle soup requests
- Write an XML to define which controller responds to this request
- Write an XML parser on top of another XML parser
- Write a controller to trigger an event in response to the request
- Write an XML which defines the event
- Write an XML that defines the event observer
- Write a plugin which calls event observers
- Write a router which delegates the task of calling event observers to that plugin
- Write an event observer which calls another plugin
- Write a plugin that "Calls a function".
It's better because... it's more Object Oriented!
