Smart JavaScript Dataflow Architecture

Developing an Ajax based application is geared towards better interaction of the user with the online application. Information is often relayed from the user to the server without the need of constant refresh of the client side. Developers often aim in harnessing the data so that they could be properly implemented without any fear of information leak which will cause insecurity.

But harnessing data is very difficult and would often take a lot of time for developers. That is why developers often look at frameworks in developing Ajax based applications. Today’s frameworks are highly efficient that they could be trusted with data flow and developers would just focus on the data provided and creating a system that will cater the framework.

These frameworks have a powerful dataflow architecture which means they have the ability to handle data and properly implementing them.

Type of dataflow architecture

There are two popular types of dataflow architecture. The most popular type of data architecture design for JavaScript is the modular design. They are also commonly referred to as APIs as they are often added during the active development of an Ajax based application. Developers could inject the API in their application so that it could take over the handling of data transfer.

This type of data architecture if often preferred in providing robust online application. JavaScript APIs are added during active development so that an application could work as expected when they are implemented. They supplement the application as they become in charge of a part of data flow in the application.

Another form of dataflow architecture is the widget. It is a small data handler and they could be easily integrated to an Ajax based application. Compared to APIs, widgets could be added later or during passive development. Developers would be given a chance to slowly build their application as they will find different widgets that will help them develop a powerful Ajax based application.

These two types of data transfer plan are very effective since it complements the application. However, they are often regarded as an add-on and would never have an active relationship with additional frameworks which is highly probable considering the current demand of JavaScript applications.

The JDA

To answer the no-relation problem of widgets and APIs, Maya Inc. developed another modular add-on for the Ajax based application. They call their set of modules for additional components JavaScript Dataflow Architecture or JDA.

They could be easily identified with the traditional API. However, its main difference is in its relation to other modules. The modular functions offered by API could communicate with each other so that they could be fully functional in the process. Its clear advantage is that they could process the data faster which will help developers build a highly efficient application.

Interoperability with other components is also possible with JavaScript Dataflow Architecture although they are often limited to the modules offered by JDA. But more importantly, security flaws could be easily addressed by the modules.

With JDA, the development of a secured and highly functional Ajax based application. Data handling is very efficient and would provide the expected output when they are properly infused with the online application.
