Abstract
Client-server systems and methods for transferring data via a network, including a wireless network, between a server and one or more clients or browsers that are spatially distributed (i.e., situated at different locations). At least one local client computer provides a user interface to interact with at least one remote server computer which implements data processing in response to the local client computer. The user interface may be a browser or a thin client.

- interpreting the request to determine data submitted by the client, wherein said data is used to create, modify, delete, or append to objects or user data in the server system;
- and
- creating a response in said language, protocol, or syntax of the client, wherein said response is representative of the state of an object in the server system following the processing of the request.
In a client-server system wherein a server is configured to receive requests from a client and send responses to the client, computer executable software code comprising:
- code to interpret the request to determine at least one of a language, protocol, or syntax in which the client sends requests and receives responses;
- code to interpret the request to determine data submitted by the client, wherein said data is used to create, modify, delete, or append to objects or user data in the server system;
