Developpers of HTML5 applications (client side) can easyly create +applications for AGL framework using their prefered +HTML framework.
+ +Developpers can also create powerful server side plugins to improve +their application. This server side plugin should return the mime-type +application/json and can be accessed either by HTTP or by Websockets.
+ +In a near future, the JSON-RPC protocol will be available together +with the current x-afb-json1 protocol.
+ +Two examples of HTML5 applications are given:
+ +afb-client a simple “hello world” application
afm-client a simple “Home screen” application
Writing Qt applications is also possible because Qt offers APIs to +make HTTP queries and to connect using WebSockets.
+ +It is even possible to write a QML application. +It is demontrated by the sample application token-websock:
+ +The current implementation use libsystemd and file descriptors. This may be changed in the future to also support secure sockets and being less dependant of libsystemd.
+ + +Applications are communicating with their binder afb-daemon using +a network connection or a kind of network connection (unix domain +socket isn’t currently implemented but could be used in near future). +Also, HTTP protocol is not a connected protocol. It means that +the socket connection can not be used to authenticate a client.
+ +For this reason, the binder should authenticate the application +by using a commonly shared secret named token.
+ +At start, the framework communicate a common secret to both the binder +and its client: the application. When the application
