### Research Notes: Interoperability between JavaScript and Python for Communication between Desktop and Linux Gateway Clients
## Research Notes: Interoperability between JavaScript and Python for Communication between Desktop and Linux Gateway Clients

#### 1. Introduction
### Introduction

- **Objective:** Investigate methods for enabling communication between a desktop application (written in JavaScript) and Linux Gateway Client daemons (written in Python).

- **Importance:** Seamless interoperability is crucial for efficient message exchange and system integration.


**2. Overview of Technologies Involved**
### Overview of Technologies Involved

- **JavaScript:** Typically used for frontend development and increasingly for backend with Node.js.

- **Python:** Preferred for backend development, system scripting, and daemon services on Linux.


#### 3. Communication Channels and Protocols
### Communication Channels and Protocols

- **WebSocket Protocol:**
- **JavaScript:** Can use WebSocket APIs (e.g., `WebSocket` in browsers, `ws` library in Node.js).

- **Interoperability:** Both languages can publish and subscribe to message queues, facilitating asynchronous communication.

- **RPC (Remote Procedure Call)**
RPC allows JavaScript and Python applications to invoke procedures or methods on remote servers as if they were local, enabling seamless interaction between different components.
- **JavaScript:** Libraries like grpc-web can be used to call Python services using gRPC.
- **Python:** Implement RPC servers using grpc framework to expose methods and handle incoming requests from JavaScript clients.
- **Advantages:**Language-agnostic (support for various languages beyond JavaScript and Python).
Efficient and suitable for microservices architecture.
