mORMot Open Source

Hi Erick - are you still planning to publish a 3rd edition with the security overview?

Cheers, Bob

@edwinsn I just create subclasses of the components I use, sometimes so that I can easily swap-in components from different vendors (which then just involves changing the unit name in the uses section), and sometimes to get matching properties for Vcl and FMX components. E.g. I wrap TEdit with IFDEFs for Vcl/FMX and create common property names when I need it. I wish EMB had standardised the property names across the two platforms! FMX on Windows is a dead-loss but I've found it ok on mobile, so for desktop I focus on the Vcl and have recently purchased CrossVcl for OSX.

I was an early adopter of EWB but dropped it after a year. It's rock-solid but the OP transpiler still doesn't handle interfaces or generics. Of course DWScript and pas2js don't yet handle generics but it's at least on the roadmap. EWB is another product that could have been miles ahead if they'd focused on client-side functionality - but a lot of resource was spent building server-side functionality to help sell their database products. They should have just used mORMot :-)

The application I have in mind has client+server on the same PC as an option. I can just use http even here, but named pipes might save me a bit of hassle with getting an http server set up. Of course, without support for OSX I suppose it doesn't matter anyway!

Thanks, Bob
