Flashback to the early days of XML: "oh god, why would anyone use something as bloated and slow as CORBA to define an interface! Look how simple XML is, and it's human readable!!"
CORBA is laughing its head off: "Who's bloated and overly complex now, eh?"
XML: "Well at least I developed an appreciation of the problem domain... Unlike those arrogant JSON kids"
CORBA: "You were the same way at their age."
XML: "Sure was, gramps!"
(Both chuckle)
- ultimape 12y agoI've been actively staying away from CORBA myself. Back in college, we tried our hand at using Ice http://www.zeroc.com/iceVsCorba.html http://www.zeroc.com/iceVsCorba.html and it seemed to do the trick. Still, it does assume that both parties have access to the template generated by ice - thus going back to the issues surrounding needing a sort of schema. That being said, there does seem to be options for interacting using json: http://ice2rest.make-it-app.com/ http://ice2rest.make-it-app.com/ and as of 3.3.1 it apparently supports Google's Protocol Buffers for flexibility.
