Did that.  Fahrenheit to Celsius, Celsius to Fahrenheit, day-name for any requested date, return a list of Oceans, return a list of US Presidents and details of their presidency, a random list of ticket numbers, and details related to a selected ticket number. All from physical files in my development library on a couple of different i-series machines.  All these data are returned as json data to any browser pointed to the correct uri.  I also set up a web server on the i. The pages exist to request & display these data using HTML, JavaScript, and css.  All works pretty well, considering my novice status.

Next step looks to me to be consuming that same information with 5250.   I'm not liking what I am seeing so far.

And yes, I know I can use RPG to get the data directly from the files in my development library.  But that's not the point, is it?  I want to be able to enforce business rules and what is and what isn't available, within the i-series environment and yet provide useful data for various superusers who have their own specific needs.
