CrossSafe

CrossSafe provides secure cross domain JSON requests and partially implements the JSONRequest specification (the get and cancel methods). XMLHttpRequest follows a same origin policy, and because of this, when developing mashups that involve retrieving data from servers other than the origin, developers have typically had to decide between a secure, but slow connection that through a proxy, or a direct, faster, but unsecure dynamic script tag retrieval of information. CrossSafe allows fast, direct, and secure connections to foreign servers from the browser. CrossSafe uses the JSONRequest API as it provides a subset of the JSONRequest features. CrossSafe does not implement the entire specification. However, developers can use the JSONRequest API in CrossSafe to make cross domain requests (which is one of the primary motivations for JSONRequest), and if and when browsers implement JSONRequest natively, CrossSafe will simply leave the JSONRequest object alone, and code will continue to operate with the benefits of a native implementation. CrossSafe uses a technique for securing communication that is similiar to the Subspace approach, that utilizes standards . You can see also see a demonstration of CrossSafe .
