##About

Soapi.JS2 is being released separately from [Soapi.JS][1] as it is a completely different take on accessing the API via JavaScript.

[Soapi.JS][2] is a very lightweight library that provides full API coverage. 

Soapi.JS2 takes it to 11 with a complete paradigm shift. It is a bit heavier and revolves around a fluent, relational query approach similar to that of the [Soapi.CS][3] library, providing a seamless view on the data served by the API.

##Code

Included in the alpha zip is a full coverage test suite and a rather detailed walkthrough. 


###QuickStart

- [ApiContext][5] - the root of all queries <-- **start here**
- [Api Coverage][6] - how Soapi.JS2 maps to the API
- [Relational Queries][7] - how to treat the API like a database
- [Async usage pattern][8] - how to call and what to expect
- [Parameterization And Paging][9] - how to get exactly what you want from the API
- [Stubs][10] - filling placeholder objects
- [Throttling and Caching][11] - concentrate on features, not plumbing..

###Sample Code

- [Basic Usage Example 01][12] - demonstrates how to retrieve related data from the api using Soapi.JS


###Reference

- [Linq.js][13] - Soapi.JS will detect if linq.js is loaded and if found will return all results that would normally be JavaScript `Array` as an instance of `Enumerable`. Most sample code that I provide will utilize this functionality. 
   This is highly recommended reading for anyone building non-trivial JavaScript applications.
