QueryPath: jQuery für PHP
QueryPath klingt wie die Library die ich letzte Woche hätte gebrauchen können:
A PHP jQuery. That was the original goal of QueryPath. This meant creating a library that was:
- Concise: jQuery methods are all short, and the methods are chainable. Both of these features are stables of the QueryPath library.
- Flexible: like jQuery, QueryPath provides many different features and functions in a single place. Even the extensions can be easily subsumed under the core QueryPath object.
- Powerful: One of the strong points of jQuery is that it provides a powerful suite of JavaScript? tools. QueryPath aims to provide that sort of toolset of PHP.
Und auf IBMs developerworks gibt es ein Tutorial zu QueryPath.
Thanks for mentioning QueryPath. I originally wrote it to build HTML pages in much the same way as I do with jQuery on the browser-side, I’ve discovered how easily QueryPath can be used to work with remote web services.
Last night, for example, I wrote a small utility that uses QueryPath to find related articles using Bloglines. Since Bloglines supports a simple REST-ish search API whose results are returned in RSS, it was easy to handle with QueryPath. It seems to have worked, too, because I found this blog post!
(The utility, by the way, will be featured in an article on http://community.openamplify.com later today.)
