| <introduction> |
| <html:div> |
| The Remote Application Platform (RAP) is an Eclipse platform for modular applications using a |
| rich widget toolkit with SWT API. |
| Optionally, also JFace and Workbench APIs and extension points are available on top of this |
| toolkit. |
| RAP applications run on server-side OSGi, but can also be used in standard web applications. |
| They can be developed using the same set of tools as being used for SWT/RCP development. |
| RAP makes it easy to re-use existing RCP code, write applications for desktop and web from |
| a single code base, and to integrate other Eclipse technologies in web applications. |
| A well defined protocol allows to connect alternative clients. |

| <description> |
| <html:div> |
| <html:p> |
| In RAP 1.5, we introduced a well-defined communication protocol based on JSON. |
| This protocol is used for the responses from the server. |
| We will extend the usage of this protocol to requests and so complete the protocol |
| conversion. |
