Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to processing metadata requests using a cache. For example, a metadata object, such as a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) object, may be processed into two or more portions. The two or more portions or data generated based on the two or more portions may be stored into a cache. After receiving a request for the metadata object from a computing device, the metadata object may be generated based on the data stored in the cache and the generated metadata object may be transmitted as a response to the request for the metadata object. Further aspects relate to personalizing the metadata object at the cache prior to transmitting the response to the request for the metadata object. Further aspects relate to updating a portion of the metadata object, such as a portion that includes dynamic data, prior to transmitting the response to the request.

Abstract: Models of certain groups of graphical user interface (GUI) objects (e.g., menu objects, product objects, title objects, etc.) are created. A website is then modeled as a state machine (also called a blueprint), in which states are used to model webpages of the website.
