Here we explore how external applications can talk to, that is send messages, and otherwise interact or control wiki.
We start with a wiki that can speak, but not listen. Wiki reveals itself in html and json, through simple REST calls.
It has a reasonably well defined json schema that other applications can listen to, read, and do things with. But we can't (until now), talk to wiki.
# Popup Plugin We hate the name, but it warns us of the dangers of abuse. The About Popup Plugin enables us to have wiki create, and receive Web Messaging events.
This enables other applications to talk to wiki in a way that is fundamentally different to a simple Rest API.
