Abstract

The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates re-locating a web application associated with a network service utilizing a portion of serialized data. The network service can be any collection of resources that are maintained by a party (e.g., third-party, off-site, etc.) and accessible by an identified user over a network (e.g., WAN, Internet, etc.). An interface component can receive a portion of serialized data with transparent structure related to an application specification. A hydrate component can create a web application independent of a network service based at least in part upon the serialized data, the web application has state within the network service.

Claims

1. A system that facilitates employing a web application associated with a network service, comprising:

an interface that receives a portion of serialized data with transparent structure related to an application specification; and

a hydrate component that expands and executes a web application based at least in part upon the serialized data that is independent of a network service.

2. The system of claim 1, the web application is implemented within a network service and retains state within the network service.

3. The system of claim 1, the network service is a resource that is maintained by a party and accessible by an identified user over a network.

4. The system of claim 1, the hydrate component employs a separation of process utilizing the serialized data associated with the application specification, wherein the serialized data maintains a bond that enables implementation of the web application.

5. The system of claim 1, the serialized data related to an application specification is at least one of an object related to a programming language, a portion of stream-lined layers that maintain a bond to a web application, a portion of a web application, a collection of bare-bone layers associated with the web application independent of a target host, and a blueprint for implementing the web application without data specifics associated with a network service.

6. The system of claim 1, the serialized data related to an application corresponds to the web application and includes at least one layer, the layer relates to at least one of a database, a web server, a rendering side, a display, an application layer, a client side logic, and a server side logic.

7. The system of claim 1, further comprising an analyzer component that evaluates a portion of serialized data to ascertain which portions correspond to the web application.

8. The system of claim 1, further comprising a constructor component that appends the serialized necessary data to implement the web application within the particular network service.

9. The system of claim 8, the necessary data is at least one of linkage data between two or more layers associated with the application specification, network service specific data, cloud service specific data, framework specific data, structure data specific to a host of the web application, and host data.

10. The system of claim 1, further comprising a dehydrate component that compresses the web application into a compact package of serialized data associated with an application specification.

11. The system of claim 10, the compact package has transparent structure that can be transported to an entity for expansion and implementation regardless of entity specifics.

12. The system of claim 11, the entity is at least of a disparate network service, a cloud service, a cloud, a service, a computer, a component, a machine, and a host.

13. The system of claim 11, the web application is hosted by a terminating network service and is transported to a disparate network service.

14. The system of claim 11, the compression of the web application is due to at least one of the network service terminating and implementing continuous service interaction for the entity from a disparate device.

15. The system of claim 13, the disparate network service provides uninterrupted implementation of the web application with the same state before transportation.

16. A computer-implemented method that facilitates serializing state associated with a web application to mitigate re-locating the web application, comprising:

receiving an application specification with transparent structure; and

constructing a web application based on expanding the application specification to allow execution and state within a network service.

17. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

compressing the web application into an application specification;

transporting the application specification to a disparate network service for implementation; and

hydrating the application specification into a web application that is employed within the disparate network service independent of network service details.

18. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

detecting the termination of a network service;

anticipating the termination of a network service;

identifying an analogous network service in relation to a terminating network service;

transporting a compressed portion of an application specification to the analogous network service; and

appending the application specification with data specific to the analogous network service to allow implementation of the web application corresponding to the application specification.

19. The method of claim 16, the network service is a resource that is maintained by a party and accessible by an identified user over a network.

20. A computer-implemented system that facilitates employing a web application associated with a network service, comprising:

means for receiving a portion of serialized data with transparent structure related to an application specification; and

means for creating a web application independent of a network service based at least in part upon the serialized data, the web application has state within the network service.
