We have been focusing so hard on making the platform bug-free and fast that we have neglected the User Interface for a while, specially the Code Editor. So we decided to give a little love to the UI.

iKnode applications have supported native types as a return and as parameters since its inception. This obviously limited the information that could be received and returned from an iKnode application, and in the end also its functionality.

One way to solve this was to serialize the input and outputs of the application using a JSON Serializer (or an XML Serializer). This worked ok, but it poluted the iKnode application with unnecessary serialize/deserialize code, making the application code more difficult to maintain.

We just made available our Javascript library, which so far is pretty basic but will allow you to call your iKnode apps from your Web applications or mobile apps.

The purpose of this post is to show you the usage of this library, as an example we will develop a password manager app on iKnode, so basically it will allow us to:

• Store a new password entry.
• List current passwords.
• Update and delete passwords.
