A framework for building data driven interactive front ends
summary
Claims a JSON-first system called Pi query JSON object that turns front-end select/filter logic into one API that serves ~70% of queries and scaled a cricket scorecard to ~1 million hits/day. Shows a connector object that collapses many UI relationships into a few edges, an in-browser adapter using IndexedDB for offline/querying, undo and tinyurl state serialization, and practical React integration (Angular integration lagging). Back-end needs an adapter per database and enforces ACLs and simple SQL-injection guards.
