not sure how to get your new commit to me without cloning it.

I am finally sharing the entire json flights file. I maybe curious to know how you reasoned about everything, from the rest call, parsing work, to the view presentation with binding stuffs and Co.

I am kind of looking to know the "idiomatic TornadoFx" way of dealing with such kind of work, it might help not only me but also many people out there once it's added in the gitbook or shared somewhere else .

@carlw Hello! I’ll try to make a small reproducable example today.

@borboss please. I have to support the mac and am curious

@eddy_wm As soon as I figure out how to edit the books I'll ask edvin et. al if I'm correct and write something -- the reasoning behind the json is, each tier is a string, you can parse each level to a json model, because JSON is String Object Notation

I have a lot of nested json objects

most of mine are objects of arrays of objects of objects.... once you get the first layer down, it's easy.

@eddy_wm I see you're using REST, have you written your own server? If so, what is the library you're using?

@pim if you look above, he posted an example of his rest call

it's an array of objects with nested objects

@pike Uh, I don't understand what you mean. I'd like a recommendation on REST server libraries 🙂

Eddy's question is, after reading the docs, how do you figure out how to map your rest response to JsonModels when you have nested objects

I was wondering if he created the server as well. But - is creating a REST server myself the best option for server-client data transfer?

I personally like REST for api calls to a server

descriptive rest

I have no problem creating my own protocol, have done it before, but I thought tornadofx integrates well with REST calls.

it does, very well

you just have to map your domain to it

I've found several libraries to create a server with, but can you recommend one?

right now I'm working with amazon http gateway and lambda for my rest server

I found: http://sparkjava.com/ https://javalin.io/ http://restx.io/ and https://jersey.github.io/

yep you should be able to remove previews

Really, whatever you choose, you have to interface with it

Jersey seems the most mature
