Work > jQuery

In my previous post, I wrote about the new Workflow Client Services that are available within K2. In my post, I created a small worklist page fully based on javascript/jquery/json. Eric Schaffer has made this video describing how you can do this, even creating a action pull down. The video is on youtube, so here’s a direct link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKIv6C8WnLI

With the release of K2 Services in the 1290 release, we’re able to get all sorts of data using RESTful services. These services provide output in 3 formats:

• XML
• ATOM
• JSON

XML is the default output. ATOM is a feed-style output which is in essence XML. And JSON is the one we’re going to use. JSON output can be seen as the serialized output of a JavaScript object. This makes it very easy to use in JavaScript and especially jQuery.
