GDOv7 Response Formats

A Method returns a GDT on execution, which is your ultimate result. A GDT can support the following rendering methods.

renderHTML() - HTML
renderForm() - HTML FORM
renderCell() - HTML table CELL
renderCard() - HTML cardview
renderList() - HTML listview
renderHeader() - HTML table HEADER
renderFilter() - HTML table FILTER
renderCLI() - CLI
renderIRC() - IRC
renderXML() - @TODO XML
renderPDF() - @TODO HTML basic pdf cap.
renderJSON() - JSON
renderBinary() - GDOv7 Websocket BINARY

PDF is only supported via 3rd party libraries, and still an early draft / @TODO.

The GDOv7 BINARY RESPONSE FORMAT

A JSON configuration file is automatically created and requested via AJAX. All binary transmission relies on that transport contract config.

Roughly it boils down to:

Ints are binary sized according to GDT_Int::$bytes.
Strings are 0 terminated urlencoded.
IEEE Floats are supported.
Timestamps are 64 bit integers in ms.
DateTimes are strings.
Objects are foreign keys according to their primary field(s).
