   * Binary Data
-Text and binary data are both objects (arrays of primitives are objects after all) and numbers are either primitives or objects. Most of the time, if we deal with numbers inside a database, we want them to be of arbitrary precision, which means we must represent them as ''%%BigDecimal%%''. Supporting ''%%double%%'' or ''%%float%%'' in these cases would be dangerous because one might write a ''%%float%%'' into the database [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic|which might or might not end up with the correct value]] in the database. To completely eliminate such problems, we only support objects, which means that one is “limited” to the usage of number extensions like ''%%BigLong%%'' and ''%%BigDecimal%%'', which do not suffer from such problems.

 A very good example and showcase for that is the [[https://github.com/sibvisions/jvx.kitchensink|JVx Kitchensink]].
-That’s it. That is the most simple way to start a [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/jvx/|JVx]] application. We can use all controls, and we can use ''%%MemDataBook%%''s without any problem or limitation. Best of all, we can simply switch to another technology by using another factory.

-Of course [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/jvx/|JVx]] wouldn’t be that useful if it would just provide static GUI components. Now, to explain what else is required for a remote [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/jvx/|JVx]] application I have to go far afield, so let’s head down the rabbit hole.

-What you are seeing here is a rough sketch of how the architecture of [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/jvx/|JVx]] looks like. Let’s walk through the image step by step. We will look at each successive layer and work our way from the database on the server to the databook on the client.
