SWX: SWF Data Format

Icon

SWX is the native data format for Adobe Flash. This blog is about all things SWX, SWX RPC, SWX PHP and the SWX APIs (Flickr, Twitter, etc.)

SWX and SWX RPC advantages for mobile development

SWX RPC is the only RPC solution for Flash Lite and, beyond that, it works really well and is simple to use. Here is a summary of some of the advantages of the SWX data format and SWX RPC for Flash Lite development:

  • Native; data is ready to use the moment it loads as native ActionScript objects.
  • No processor-intensive parsing, etc.
  • No plumbing code for deserializing requests.
  • Public gateway and APIs for mobile mashups.
  • Only RPC solution for Flash Lite.
  • Easy to understand and use.
