/**
 * @class Ext.Direct
 * @extends Ext.util.Observable
 * <p><b><u>Overview</u></b></p>
 *
 * <p>Ext.Direct aims to streamline communication between the client and server
 * by providing a single interface that reduces the amount of common code
 * typically required to validate data and handle returned data packets
 * (reading data, error conditions, etc).</p>
 *
 * <p>The Ext.direct namespace includes several classes for a closer integration
 * with the server-side. The Ext.data namespace also includes classes for working
 * with Ext.data.Stores which are backed by data from an Ext.Direct method.</p>
 *
 * <p><b><u>Specification</u></b></p>
 *
 * <p>For additional information consult the
 * <a href="http://extjs.com/products/extjs/direct.php">Ext.Direct Specification</a>.</p>
 *
 * <p><b><u>Providers</u></b></p>
 *
 * <p>Ext.Direct uses a provider architecture, where one or more providers are
 * used to transport data to and from the server. There are several providers
 * that exist in the core at the moment:</p><div class="mdetail-params"><ul>
 *
 * <li>{@link Ext.direct.JsonProvider JsonProvider} for simple JSON operations</li>
 * <li>{@link Ext.direct.PollingProvider PollingProvider} for repeated requests</li>
 * <li>{@link Ext.direct.RemotingProvider RemotingProvider} exposes server side
 * on the client.</li>
 * </ul></div>
 *
 * <p>A provider does not need to be invoked directly, providers are added via
 * {@link Ext.Direct}.{@link Ext.Direct#add add}.</p>
 *
 * <p><b><u>Router</u></b></p>
 *
 * <p>Ext.Direct utilizes a "router" on the server to direct requests from the client
 * to the appropriate server-side method. Because the Ext.Direct API is completely
 * platform-agnostic, you could completely swap out a Java based server solution
 * and replace it with one that uses C# without changing the client side JavaScript
 * at all.</p>
 *
 * <p><b><u>Server side events</u></b></p>
 *
 * <p>Custom events from the server may be handled by the client by adding
 * listeners, for example:</p>
 * <pre><code>
{"type":"event","name":"message","data":"Successfully polled at: 11:19:30 am"}

// add a handler for a 'message' event sent by the server
Ext.Direct.on('message', function(e){
    out.append(String.format('&lt;p>&lt;i>{0}&lt;/i>&lt;/p>', e.data));
            out.el.scrollTo('t', 100000, true);
});
 * </code></pre>
 * @singleton
