In support.js, the functions http_get_json, ajax_http_get_json and ajax_http_post_json now calls the supplied error callback if the server returns invalid JSON (e.g. because of a crash). The function gftranslate.translate in gftranslate.js returns a JSON value containing an error message (since it doesn't have an error callback). This should result in fewer situations where "nothing happens" and the user doesn't know if it is beacuse the server is slow, or if there was an error.
DESCRIPTION
The Grammatical Framework (=GF) is a grammar formalism based on type theory.
It consists of
* a special-purpose programming language
* a compiler of the language
* a generic grammar processor
The compiler reads GF grammars from user-provided files, and the
generic grammar processor performs various tasks with the grammars:
* generation
* parsing
* translation
* type checking
* computation
* paraphrasing
* random generation
* syntax editing
GF particularly addresses four aspects of grammars:
* multilinguality (parallel grammars for different languages)
* semantics (semantic conditions of well-formedness, semantic
properties of expressions)
* grammar engineering (modularity, abstractions, libraries)
* embeddability in programs written in other languages (C,C++,
Haskell, Java, JavaScript)
