All scan data is sorted alphabetically and stored as plain text and the API feeds on this raw data for providing the web page with content. The idea of using API instead of static page is to provide the opportunity of refreshing the data at regular intervals and not touching the front end interface.



Couple of things I am happy about this project is that, though phpVatch caters to a very small target who might be interested in PHP, this has given me the opportunity to learn and effectively use more tools which can benefit all. For example, just ran the site through Google Chrome’s Audit under the Developer tool set and to my excitement found that it scored 100% on all three parameters checked, which by itself is a great milestone for me.
