Retrieve network resources using URLs

The Origami dialect of JavaScript lets you use a URL directly in an expression.

site.ori

{
  // Retrieve text from the network
  sample = https://weborigami.org/samples/cli/sample.txt
}

$ ori site.ori/
sample: |
  This is a text file.
$

Use a URL to inline an SVG from a server of design assets directly into an HTML page.

page.ori.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <body>
    <button style="align-items: center; display: grid; grid-auto-flow: column;">
      ${ https://weborigami.org/samples/help/home.svg }
      <span>Home</span>
    </button>
  </body>
</html>

http://localhost:5000/

Origami supports file extensions, so you can download data with a URL and then extract the information you want.

$ ori https://weborigami.org/samples/help/pet.json
{
  "name": "Fluffy",
  "owner": "Alice"
}
$ ori "(https://weborigami.org/samples/help/pet.json).name"
Fluffy
$

You can even use network data in a map to render each item as HTML!

books.ori.html

<ul>
  ${ Tree.map(https://weborigami.org/samples/help/books.yaml, (book) => Tree.indent`
    <li>${ book.title }</li>
  `) }
</ul>

http://localhost:5000/books.html
