=====Javascript/Ecmascript Data Object=====

JEDO (""JavaScript/EcmaScript"" Data Object) is a simple, flexible schema proposed for javascript array objects so that they can be defined and manipulated more like database rows.

A JEDO file consists of two major variables:

**JEDODEF** an array-like object containing meta-information about the data in the file.

**JEDO** an array object containing the actual application data available for remote loading.

JEDO allows the data to be structured in whatever way suits the application -- normally as an aggregation of objects representing rows in a database.  Where a useful standard is recognized, it may be proposed as a JEDOn standard where n is an integer and the designation is applied as the variable name for the JEDOn object. 

The JEDO0 (zero) standard is defined simply as JEDO0[row_num] = { 'blob' : blob };

The standard, if it ever it stabilizes as a standard, is still evolving and may change as it is used in new applications.  A protoype can be found in the [[http://klenwell.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/JS/jedo/data.prototype.js klenwell code repository]].
