[Dojo-interest] Looking for best datastore . . .

[Peter Svensson]

A good thing to note if you switch between them is thatm ItemFileReadStore
(and relatives) assume that the metadata is part of the data, lke;
{
  identifier: 'id',
  label: 'name,
  items: [ .. lots of json objects..]
}

Whereas JsonRestStore expect an array (empty, if need be) with objects in
response from the server;

[
  lots of json objects
]

Also, if you set up the JsonRestStore first, you will see how it assembles
its urls to the server, and go from there. It's fairly simple.
See http://docs.dojocampus.org/dojox/data/JsonRestStore for more info,
especially "How to implement a server".

Cheers,
