Examples:

// add new record
tags := ["site":Marker.val, "dis":"Example Site"])
toCommit := Etc.makeDictGrid(["commit":"add"], tags)
client.commit(toCommit)

// update dis tag
changes := ["id": orig->id, "mod":orig->mod, "dis": "New dis"]
toCommit := Etc.makeDictGrid(["commit":"update"], changes)
client.commit(toCommit)

eval Grid eval(Str expr)

Evaluate an Axon expression and return results as Grid. Raise CallErr if server returns error grid. Also see HTTP API.

open static Client open(Uri uri, Str username, Str password, [Str:Obj]? opts)

Open with URI of project such as "http://host/api/myProj/". Throw IOErr for network/connection error or AuthErr if credentials are not authenticated.

read Dict? read(Str filter, Bool checked)

Call "read" operation to read a record that matches the given filter. If there is more than one record, then it is undefined which one is returned.

Call "read" operation to read a record by its identifier. If the record is not found then return null or raise UnknownRecException based on checked flag. Raise CallErr if server returns error grid. Also see HTTP API.

readByIds Grid readByIds(Obj[] ids, Bool checked)

Call "read" operation to read a list of records by their identifiers. Return a grid where each row of the grid maps to the respective id list (indexes line up). If checked is true and any one of the ids cannot be resolved then raise UnknownRecErr for first id not resolved. If checked is false, then each id not found has a row where every cell is null. Raise CallErr if server returns error grid. Also see HTTP API.
