Chord-style declarativity — defeating networking boilerplate
summary
Presentation describes Chord, a JSON-RPC–based networking framework for TypeScript that replaces REST to reduce boilerplate. It shows how Chord enables declarative RPC with types flowing from backend to frontend, uses Proxy and Reflection to build the API surface, handles messages that are more than plain JSON, abstracts transport, and can incorporate Sync‑Engine features; examples target TypeScript with SvelteKit, Next and Nuxt.
