RookitQueryLanguage

[JPDSousa]

Descrition

The rookit query language allows users to query the database. The initial idea is to support a querying system from the shell, built upon ExtendedCLI. As such, a list of options are required:

• -q - [required] - The Query String, which needs to be wrapped around quotes if contains spaces (does ExtCLI support this?)
• -t - [optional] - The Type of element the user is looking for
  • Artist, Album, Track or Genre

Future Features

• Random searches for a random element.
• Surprise me relies on plays and other statistics to choose an element to be played.

Drawbacks

• Does not support advanced querying options.

Alternaive Querying Methods

• JSON
  • MongoDB query
• XML
• ProtoBuf
