  • Patent number: 11029925
    Abstract: Disclosed is a novel framework by which the sources of data objects and/or formatting functions can be easily requested and managed. More specifically, the invention provides a system for and method of serving multiple data objects and/or formatting functions to a subscribing client via a single request. The system comprises a catalog with entries referencing components used to generate data objects and formatting functions, each of which has a unique identifier; and an engine for receiving requests from the subscribing client, wherein each request includes one or more catalog identifiers. This engine, for each identifier in each received request, executes any prerequisite components, sets the appropriate parameters, and executes the component referenced by said component identifier to obtain the requested data object or formatting function.

This engine, for each identifier in each received request, executes any prerequisite components, sets the appropriate parameters, and executes the component referenced by the component identifier to obtain the requested data object or formatting function. Having executed the each component, the engine protects the namespaces of the returned functions and variables and aggregates the data objects and/or formatting functions into a script library, and returns the script library to the subscribing client.
