folio-component-json-api

You can serve HTML snippets from a JSON API by generating responses that encapsulate the HTML content in a 'data' key. This approach allows JavaScript applications to fetch UI fragments directly, avoiding the duplication of presentation logic on the client side.

The HTML over wire approach for JSON APIs involves returning rendered HTML strings within a JSON response instead of raw data. It enables seamless integration of UI fragments into different systems and clients, facilitating client-side rendering without duplicating presentation logic.

To render Folio components into a JSON response, you use the Folio::RenderComponentJson module. This mechanism processes the component and outputs the resulting HTML string inside the 'data' key of the JSON payload.

Yes, you can use this to generate JSON APIs for dynamic UI elements in a Folio-based application. It creates API endpoints that return HTML snippets for UI fragments, reducing the need to duplicate presentation logic across different clients.

You need the Folio framework and the Folio::RenderComponentJson module to generate HTML over wire JSON APIs. The Skill itself operates without external dependencies, relying on these core Folio components to render UI fragments into the required JSON format.

Use HTML over wire JSON APIs when you need to serve UI fragments directly to JavaScript applications and want to avoid duplicating presentation logic. If your system requires raw data for complex client-side state management, standard data APIs may be more suitable.
