What Is ha X e Remoting?
In this chapter, the client and server concepts assume a wider scope: The client is a piece of
software that makes a request and the server is the software application that provides an answer.
The physical location of client and server is not always relevant as the communication may happen
on the same client PC or between two different PCs. The communication may involve the different
platforms Flash, JavaScript, and Neko.
haXe Remoting is a library included in the haXe standard library that provides an easy and
transparent way to communicate between clients and servers on different platforms. The
communication is simplified because arguments and results are not limited to basic types but can
be any kind of complex structures like enums, anonymous objects or class instances including
arrays, lists, and hash tables.
