What is ZOO-Client ?
ZOO-Client is a client-side JavaScript API which provides simple methods for interacting with WPS server from web applications. It is helpful for sending requests to any WPS compliant server (such as :ref:`kernel_index`) and to parse the output responses using simple JavaScript.
JavaScript
ZOO-Client relies on modern JavaScript libraries and can be seamlessly integrated in new or existing web platforms or applications. ZOO-Client works by expanding the tags available in WPS specific templates using values provided by a JavaScript hash or object. It allows to build valid WPS requests and to send them to a WPS server. It also provides functions to easily parse and reuse the output XML responses. Read the :ref:`next section <client-howto>` to get started.
Templates
ZOO-Client uses logic-less Mustache templates for creating well-formed WPS requests. Templates are called logic-less because they do not contain any if statements, else clauses, or for loops, but only tags. Some tags are dynamically replaced by a value or a series of values.
GetCapabilities
GetCapabilities requests are created using the following template:
<wps:GetCapabilities xmlns:ows="http://www.opengis.net/ows/1.1" xmlns:wps="http://www.opengis.net/wps/1.0.0" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wps/1.0.0 ../wpsGetCapabilities_request.xsd" language="{{language}}" service="WPS">
<wps:AcceptVersions>
<ows:Version>1.0.0</ows:Version>
</wps:AcceptVersions>
</wps:GetCapabilities>
DescribeProcess
DescribeProcess requests are created using the following template:
<DescribeProcess xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/wps/1.0.0" xmlns:ows="http://www.opengis.net/ows/1.1" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wps/1.0.0 ../wpsDescribeProcess_request.xsd" service="WPS" version="1.0.0" language="{{language}}">
{{#identifiers}}
<ows:Identifier>{{.}}</ows:Identifier>
{{/identifiers}}
</DescribeProcess>
Execute
Execute requests are created using a more complex template, as shown bellow:
<wps:Execute service="WPS" version="1.0.0" xmlns:wps="http://www.opengis.net/wps/1.0.0" xmlns:ows="http://www.opengis.net/ows/1.1" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wps/1.0.0../wpsExecute_request.xsd" language="{{language}}">
