The <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>FormBroker</strong></span></span> package creates instances of | |
objects representing a form data description. These objects offer a | |
simple interface of methods meant to validate and control data | |
as typically posted through an HTML form, | |
thus data represented through the association of form variables | |
with their values as returned, for example, | |
by the <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>::rivet::load_response</strong></span></span> command | |
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><table border="0" summary="Note"><tr><td rowspan="2" align="center" valign="top" width="25"><img alt="[Note]" src="images/note.png"></td><th align="left">Note</th></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="top"> | |
The <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>FormBroker</strong></span></span> package is still experimental. | |
Basic functionalities and interface are not likely to change but | |
internal details and implementation could be redesigned | |
in future releases. More specifically the external validator mechanism | |
could be improved with the purpose of shielding the <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>FormBroker</strong></span></span> | |
internals from a data validation procedure. | |
