Abstract

The invention provides methods and apparatuses for opening a webpage, invoking a client, and creating a light application. The method for opening a webpage comprises: receiving a webpage opening request containing a link; according to the link, searching a preset application list for a client application and/or a light application corresponding to the link; and when the client application and/or the light application exists in the application list, opening the client application and/or invoking the light application to open a webpage corresponding to the link. Thereby, a webpage corresponding to a link can be opened in a more friendly manner, the use of a user is facilitated, the efficiency of acquiring information by the user is improved, and the user experience is enhanced.

acquiring a client application configuration file;

parsing the client application configuration file to acquire a client application domain name and a corresponding client application data object; and

storing the acquired client application domain name and corresponding client application data object in the client application list; and

wherein the light application list is pre-established by the processor based on;

acquiring a light application configuration file;

parsing the light application configuration file to acquire a light application access link and a corresponding light application data object; and

storing the acquired light application access link and corresponding light application data object in the light application list.

2. The computer-implemented method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the steps of, according to the link, searching, by the processor, a preset application list for a client application or a light application corresponding to the link;

and when the client application or the light application exists in the application list, opening, by the processor, the client application or invoking the light application to open a webpage corresponding to the link, further comprise;

according to the link, searching, by the processor, the preset client application list for a client application corresponding to the link;

when the client application exists in the client application list, opening, by the processor, the client application;

when the client application does not exist in the client application list, according to the link, searching, by the processor, the preset light application list for a light application corresponding to the link; and

when the light application exists in the light application list, opening, by the processor, a webpage corresponding to the link by invoking the light application.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step of receiving, by the processor, a webpage opening request containing a link further comprises:

receiving, by the processor, a webpage data package from a long connection server; and

parsing out, by the processor, the link from the webpage data package.

4. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the step of, according to the link, searching, by the processor, the preset client application list for a client application corresponding to the link, further comprises:

parsing out, by the processor, a domain name corresponding to the link from the link; and

according to the domain name, searching, by the processor, the preset client application list for a client application corresponding to the domain name.

5. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the step of, according to the link, searching, by the processor, the preset light application list for a light application corresponding to the link, further comprises:

parsing out, by the processor, a domain name corresponding to the link from the link; and

according to the domain name, searching, by the processor, the preset light application list for a light application corresponding to the domain name.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

acquiring, by the processor, the latest update time of the light application configuration file; and

when the interval from the latest update time to the current time is greater than a preset interval time, updating, by the processor, the light application configuration file and updating the light application list accordingly.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

when the client application or the light application does not exist in the application list, opening, by the processor, the webpage by a browser.

8. An apparatus for opening a webpage, comprising:

a memory having instructions stored thereon;

a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform following operations;

receiving a webpage opening request containing a link;

according to the link, searching a preset application list for a client application or a light application corresponding to the link; and

when the client application or the light application exists in the application list, opening the client application or invoking the light application to open a webpage corresponding to the link;

wherein the application list comprises a client application list and a light application list;

wherein the client application list is pre-established by the following steps;

acquiring a client application configuration file;

parsing the client application configuration file to acquire a client application domain name and a corresponding client application data object; and

storing the acquired client application domain name and corresponding client application data object in the client application list; and

wherein the light application list is pre-established by the following steps of;

acquiring a light application configuration file;

parsing the light application configuration file to acquire a light application access link and a corresponding light application data object; and

storing the acquired light application access link and corresponding light application data object in the light application list.

9. The apparatus as claimed in claim 8, wherein the steps of, according to the link, searching a preset application list for a client application or a light application corresponding to the link;
