10 | | It can be seen as a sort of program. The basic syntax is json, the higher level syntax is defined by the DialogSpecification and its contents. The advantage of the dialogmanager over a straight program is that everything is json-serializable, allowing the program itself plus the current execution state to be put into a file for storage, archivation, inspection and later continuation. It also helps to separate the dialog specification from dialog presentation, flow handling and to decouple it from all kind of client-server considerations. It makes the whole dialog testable. There is never any native code in this "program", only json, which avoids any security issues. |
