I now have a
Curl applet up using only serialized data as the source - this will make all of the "Learn Kanji" applets faster hereafter and help keep my fingers off my input text source !
The applet uses the
{deserialize } macro to load its data and does not reach the original source.
The approach will result in much faster "kanji of the day" applets using the Basho Haiku as their learning resource as no iteration through the data will occur at load time and the applets are one degree away from the vulnerable source.
This will be even more significant when working with no SQL and no JSON for the large JMDict Japanese resource as well as the smaller Kanjidic2 and its Edict2.
Entire arrays are serialized with a simple call to a stream to write one object. The object classes are declared as
serializable and all affected fields have at least a default value.
The result is that my own annotations are kept independent of the source file.
I may turn this same approach to an applet for viewing the tags in my 9000+ Firefox booksmarks so as to avoid both HTML and JSON.
Here is a snap:
