I think of such applications as being two pieces: the first is a boring transmission of the Javascript program, using a file; the second is a HTTP/JSON-based RPC server. I use web-server/dispatch to lay out the RPC calls and json to encode them.
Here's an example that runs the package server: https://github.com/plt/racket/blob/master/pkgs/plt-services/meta/pkg-index/official/dynamic.rkt It's less than 500 lines, so it should be pretty grokable. There's nothing particular interesting or reusable about it, so I'm not sure that there's value in trying to make a "framework" for this that's different than what the web-server already offers. It does rely heavily on a little implementation of JSON-P that could be exposed: https://github.com/plt/racket/blob/master/pkgs/plt-services/meta/pkg-index/official/jsonp.rkt Please let me know if this helps or if you need more help, Jay On Thu, Jun 12, 2014 at 5:21 PM, Jack Firth <jackhfi...@gmail.com> wrote: > How exactly would I go about implementing a racket webserver that needs to > respond to client-side ajax requests for json data?
