As the league is run entirely online through one website we pass a lot of data around to manage things. As this is the case and we are now running of two websites to control the GPVWC we have created a data extraction layer above the database to make it far easier to extract and send data.
We have a lot of different segments to the running on the GPVWC. This includes news management, team management, event sharing etc. As this is the case all of our files have been organised in relation to the segment they relate to.
Simply put, we want to be able to provide an easy to use API that can be used within the main website and then the administration site we have. What gets built for one is then usable in the other. It takes weight and complication from the front end which now only has to really think about rendering what it gets delivered.
