AppML Cases
This case study demonstrates how to build Internet applications using AppML.
Part I: Accessing Internet Files
- Accessing a TEXT file
- Accessing an XML file
- Accessing a JSON file
Part II: Accessing Internet Databases
- Listing database data
- Filtering database data
- Editing database data
AppML Browser and AppML Server
In this case study, AppML runs both in the browser (appml.js) and on the server (appml.php).
We will use a web server located at https://www.w3schools.com.
All the files and databases are located on the server.
Later in this tutorial you will learn how to simulate a web server in the browser.
Text Files
To demonstrate how to access text files, we have used files like this:
cd_catalog.txt
Empire Burlesque,Bob Dylan,USA,Columbia,10.90,1985
Hide your heart,Bonnie
Tyler,UK,CBS Records,9.90,1988
