# Glossary

## Client Helpers (Basic Features) <a href="#client-helpers-basic-features" id="client-helpers-basic-features"></a>

* Updated frontend helpers to work with this latest versions using `Angular` and `Kendo UI` Components for Angular.

## Web Server (Basic Features) <a href="#web-server-basic-features" id="web-server-basic-features"></a>

* Support for `ASP.Net Core` applications
* **Data-Query**: Mechanism to Query for specific data to the WebServer using `ASP.Net Core WebAPI`.

## C# Language support <a href="#c-language-support" id="c-language-support"></a>

* C# Syntax 7.3 or previous version is fully supported

## Application State <a href="#application-state" id="application-state"></a>

* **Memory Management** Automatic memory management on web environments
* **Static Members** Support for static elements on web environments
* **Basic Collections Support** Support for `List` and `Dictionary` and data queries for frontend support.
* **Model Synchronization** Moving data between the backend and the frontend, introduction to `Mappers` and `Data Transfer Objects(DTO)`.
* **Serialization**: Persist the state of object between requests allows the system to unload unneeded objects from memory.
* **Error Handling**: `WebMAP Core Services` offers a mechanism to report and handle exceptions

## Web Server: <a href="#web-server" id="web-server"></a>

* **Session Management**: Support for session management out the box using the provided mechanism of `ASP.Net Core`.
* **Flexible Communication Protocol**: Flexible protocol that allows `WebMAP5` to synchronize state and execute custom actions.

## User Interaction <a href="#user-interaction" id="user-interaction"></a>

* **Desktop Compatibility Platforms**: This layer allows `WebMAP5` to support different technologies, for example `WinForms` or `Power Builder`. These `Desktop Compatibility Platforms` consist of all the Models, Event Handler Mechanism, Mappers, DTOs, Error Handling, `Server Commands` and Observable Wrappers needed for each technology. Each `DCP` is pluggable so different desktop layers can be supported by the same `WebMAP Core Services` layer. At the moment just the `Windows Forms` platform is supported, and the `Power Build` being under construction.
* **Modal Dialog**: The `WebMAP Core Services` provide a mechanism that allows for the server to stop the execution of a `request` and wait for a response from the user and then continue with the execution of the previous request.

## Debugging <a href="#debugging" id="debugging"></a>

* The debugging experience is improved by hiding `WebMAP Core Services` tasks from the user application code, and leaving the original `Bussiness logic` unmodified.
* **Logging**: An extensible logging mechanism is provided by WebMAP. This eases the debugging process, allowing to easily pinpoint a problem.

## Documentation <a href="#documentation" id="documentation"></a>

* This version provides better user and developer documentation which is available online and continuously updated.
