Intelligent buffering of queries from a mobile application

A system comprising:

• one or more computers and one or more storage devices storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, by an application programming interface executing on a mobile device, multiple queries, from different software widgets executing on a mobile application, for data from a database stored on the mobile device;
• determining, by the application programming interface, a level of priority for each query of the multiple queries;
• providing, by the application programming interface, each of the multiple queries for storage in a data buffer until processing resources of the mobile device are available to process one or more of the multiple queries;
• and
• processing each query of the multiple queries against the database stored on the mobile device based on the assigned level of priority.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing software comprising instructions executable by one or more computers which, upon such execution, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, by an application programming interface executing on a mobile device, multiple queries, from different software widgets executing on a mobile application, for data from a database stored on the mobile device;
• determining, by the application programming interface, a level of priority for each query of the multiple queries;
• and
• providing, by the application programming interface, each of the multiple queries for storage in a data buffer until processing resources of the mobile device are available to process one or more of the multiple queries;
• processing each query of the multiple queries against the database stored on the mobile device based on the assigned level of priority.
