JSONRequest.js

JSONRequest implementation

This object is based on JSONRequest “official” draft and allows developers to perform get or post Ajax requestes in a simple way.

With 3 public methods it’s possible to manage more than a single request, using a queue to order requestes and to preserve server interactions.

Summary
JSONRequest.js
This object is based on JSONRequest “official” draft and allows developers to perform get or post Ajax requestes in a simple way.
JSONRequest
Personal JSONRequest implementation with queue and multiple exception filters.
Methods - Public
cancel
blocks a request and call user callback if request has been successful blocked adding 10 milliseconds as delay time for next interaction.
get
prepares a request and push them inside queue.
post
prepares a request and push them inside queue.
Methods - Private
cancel
removes timeout and block XHR interaction.
changeDelay
adds arbitrary delay time to internal variable.
prepare
checks every user get or post method arguments.
request
interval callback, performs one request using queue and next available index.
xhr
creates a new XMLHttpRequest or ActiveX object.

JSONRequest

JSONRequest

Personal JSONRequest implementation with queue and multiple exception filters.

Example

try {
       JSONRequest.get("mypage.php", function(sn, response, exception){
               alert(exception || response);
       });
}
catch(e) {
       alert(e);
}

Methods - Public

Summary
cancel
blocks a request and call user callback if request has been successful blocked adding 10 milliseconds as delay time for next interaction.
get
prepares a request and push them inside queue.
post
prepares a request and push them inside queue.

cancel

this.cancel = function(i)

blocks a request and call user callback if request has been successful blocked adding 10 milliseconds as delay time for next interaction.

Arguments

NumberA valid JSONRequest serial number.

Example

mybtn.serialNumber = JSONRequest.get("page?something", function(sn, result, error){alert(result)});
mybtn.onclick = function(){
       JSONRequest.cancel(this.serialNumber);
};

get

this.get = function(url,
done)

prepares a request and push them inside queue.  Throws a JSONRequest Exception if some parameter is wrong.

Arguments

StringA valid url to call using Ajax respecting Same Origin Policy.
FunctionA callback with 3 arguments: serialNumber, responceObject, exceptionObject

Returns

NumberA new valid serial number.

Example

JSONRequest.get("page.psp?var=value", function(sn, result, error){alert([sn, result, error])});

Note

If callback has not 3 arguments this method will throw an exception.  If request has not problems callback is called using only 2 arguments, serialNumber and responseObject.  This method uses default JSONRequest timeout, 10 seconds.

post

this.post = function(url,
send,
done,
timeout)

prepares a request and push them inside queue.  Throws a JSONRequest Error if some parameter is wrong.

Arguments

StringA valid url to call using Ajax respecting Same Origin Policy.
Array / ObjectData to send
FunctionA callback with 3 arguments: serialNumber, responceObject, exceptionObject
[Number]optional milliseconds timeout.  Default: 10000

Returns

NumberA new valid serial number.

Example

JSONRequest.post("page.psp?var=value", {name:"Andrea"}, function(sn, result, error){alert([sn, result, error])});

Note

Server side will recieve a JSONRequest key with escaped JSON data (using encodeURIComponent).  If data is not an Array, an Object or a valid JSON compatible variable, this method throws a JSONRequest Exception.

Methods - Private

Summary
cancel
removes timeout and block XHR interaction.
changeDelay
adds arbitrary delay time to internal variable.
prepare
checks every user get or post method arguments.
request
interval callback, performs one request using queue and next available index.
xhr
creates a new XMLHttpRequest or ActiveX object.

cancel

function cancel(l,
JSONRequestError)

removes timeout and block XHR interaction.  Changes queue index properties to save memory.

Arguments

NumberA valid JSONRequest serial number.
[JSONRequestError]optional dedicated error

changeDelay

function changeDelay(a,
b)

adds arbitrary delay time to internal variable.

Arguments

Numbermilliseconds to add
[Number]optional random milliseconds to add

prepare

function prepare(url,
send,
done,
timeout)

checks every user get or post method arguments.  Throws different JSONRequest Exceptions if these are not valid.

Arguments

StringA valid url to call using Ajax respecting Same Origin Policy.
Array / ObjectData to send
FunctionA callback with 3 arguments: serialNumber, responceObject, exceptionObject
[Number]optional milliseconds timeout.  Default: 10000

request

function request()

interval callback, performs one request using queue and next available index.

xhr

function xhr()

creates a new XMLHttpRequest or ActiveX object.

Returns

new XMLHttpRequest or new Microsoft.XMLHTTP ActiveX object

Properties - Private

List

Number’delay’ - delay time for next interaction.  Each error, except for cancel one, add a delay of 500 + rand(0, 511) milliseconds.
Number’l’ - queue index, used to perform one request each time.
String’method’ - temporary method used with request
Array’queue’ - a list of objects used for each interaction.
RegExp’re’ - basic Regular Expression to verify url
