Beijing time on March 28th, Google recently launched two new experimental features, and the access efficiency of the Google data protocol is expected to be greatly improved. The Google Data Agreement provides a secure means for opening Google products to third-party software vendors. Through this agreement, developers can write applications, access and modify data stored in Google products.
Google named these two new features partial response and partial update, and claimed that through these two new technologies, the Internet speed will be faster.
Previously, full data responses from Google Calendar often included a lot of unnecessary information, but now developers can request partial responses that only include relevant data. Developers can also edit this data through partial updates and send it back to the server without accessing unused data.
Kyle Marvin, head of the Google Data Protocol R&D team, said, "These two new features, local response and local update, will greatly reduce the network bandwidth, memory consumption and CPU resource usage required to run Google APIs."
Marvin also said that if a programmer develops an Android calendar component and uses the traditional method to obtain the full calendar, the information response will contain 160kb of data, while a partial response will only contain 8kb of data, a reduction of 95%. These improvements are more effective on mobile devices The effect is more significant.
In addition to the partial response and update technology recently launched by Google, other development kits that provide similar services include Youtube data API, calendar data API, and Picasa web album data API.
