Lawnchair: Simple JSON Storage

JavaScript framework for making (mobile) web applications that interacts with a local, persistent storage.

Works with all modern browsers using WebKit (Chrome, Safari and MobileSafari). It also has adapters to Google Gear.

It uses JSON extensively. All data is stored and read as JSON. So, instead of using a classic remote server-side database like MySQL, MongoDB or CouchDB, you save everything as JSON — locally.

From their website:

“a lawnchair is sorta like a couch except smaller and outside. perfect for html5 mobile apps that need a lightweight, adaptive, simple and elegant persistence solution.”

Apple’s Myriad JavaScript Frameworks

rentzsch:

Try as they might to project a monolith image, there isn’t one Apple — there’s multiple silos each containing multiple teams.

Some of these teams interact with web technologies, and end up building frameworks to assist in development. Here’s a run-down of Apple’s many JavaScript frameworks, some public, some not:

  • SproutCore is used by the MobileMe team. Publicly advertised, targeting desktop-class web applications. Chief competitor: Cappuccino. (IMO SproutCore’s gem is the DataStore layer. To my knowledge, nothing has caught up with it yet.)

  • Gianduia used by Apple retail. Not advertised yet, but you can see a demonstration on Apple’s One to One (requires buying a new Mac+contract) or for a limited time their holiday retail reservation system. As I previously tweeted, Gianduia is like SproutCore in that it targets desktop-class web apps.

  • TuneKit is a small publicly-advertised framework for targeting WebKit-in-iTunes. Published by the iTunes team.

  • Coherent is the publicly-advertised framework blessed by Dashcode 3. Developer tools team.

  • PastryKit is an Apple-internal framework focusing on iPhone-style UI in a WebKit view. Used by the iPhone team.

Thanks to Pascal Robert for suggesting some of these team categories. It was at Pascal’s WOWODC 09 that I learned about Gianduia.
