EBay launches web query language Ql.io

Developers at eBay have a new programming language developed that the number of api requests must reduce by several dataverzoeken to join. By the language, Ql.io, websites can better perform.

Ql.io is developed by eBay. The creators say that the new programming language there is less code needed to make multiple api requests at the same time, to send. Because of this, there would be less bandwidth is consumed and latency is reduced. The syntax of Ql.io is similar to the format of sql queries while as a data structure json is held.

Subbu Allamaraju, a developer at eBay and responsible for Ql.io, reports on his blog that the writing of code to the data via apis to the questions in his eyes, a needlessly time-consuming and complex process. This is partly caused by the fact that a programmer is individual, not standardized, apis should appeal. By Ql.io to apply, would this complexity for a web developer can be reduced, so Allamaraju.

To Ql.io, you need to have a web server equipped with the node.js javascript interpreter. The code of the new programming language is available on GitHub and comes with a Apache License 2.0.
