9 Both the controller and the client GUI send their data as JSON Objects.
10 In JSON every Object is an unordered set of key/value pairs. The values of these pairs can be a JSON Object, a JSON Array or a primitive value (integer, string, boolean or null).
11 For more information or a complete grammar see [[http:~~/~~/www.json.org/>>url:http://www.json.org/||shape="rect"]].

13 == Messages sent by Controller ==
14
15 * Every message must provide the keys **msgType** and **data**.
16 * Valid values for **msgType** are// log//, //error// or// status//.
17
18 === Log messages ===
19
20 For //log// messages the **data** segment consists of a JSON Array, containing zero or more strings.
21
22 === Error messages ===
23
24 For //error// messages the **data** segment consists of one single string, describing the error.
25
26 === Status messages ===
27
28 In //status// messages the **data** segment is a JSON Object which must contain the following key/value pairs.
29
30 * **debug** - true if the controller is set to verbose debug output, false otherwise
31 * **cleanup** - true after cleanup mode has been engaged, false before that point
32 * **pause** - true while the controller is paused, false otherwise
33 * **trainCount** - an integer with the number of active trains on the railway
34 * **trains** - a JSON Array with the data of all trains, each entry is a JSON Object with these values
35 ** **state** - integer value for current train state (0 = travelling, 1 = waiting, 2 = travelling until next station, 3 = forced wait)
36 ** **waitTime** - (integer) remaining milliseconds until departure (0 if not waiting)
37 ** **spdSlow** - the integer PWM value of this train while driving slow
38 ** **spdCaution** - the integer PWM value of this train while driving caution
39 ** **spdNormal** - the integer PWM value of this train while driving normally
40 ** **stationTimes** - a flat array of the form [station1_minTime, station1_maxTime, station2_minTime, station2_maxTime, ...]. The order of the stations is defined by the order in the table below but the KH (reverse) tracks are omitted.
41 ** **currentIndex** - an integer describing the current position in the schedule
42 ** (((
43 **schedule** - a JSON Array of integer values, representing the station tracks, encoded in the following fashion

205 == Messages received by controller  ==
206
207 {{status colour="Yellow" title="CHaNGED"/}}
208
209 * Every message must contain the keys **command **and **data**.
210 * Valid values for **command **are the following uppercase commands.
211 * Depending on the command, the **data**-object contains the described infos.
212 ** If a command doesn't require any additional information, the data-object may be omitted or empty.
213
214 === Valid commands ===
215
216 * //STATUS// - Poll for the current status, should trigger a status reply message
217 * //SHUTDOWN// - Causing the controller to end the program and close all sockets
218 * //LOGOUT// - Closing the connection, leaving the controller running
219 * //PAUSE// - suspend or resume the controller, must supply additional payload
220 ** **state** - boolean value, true if controller should be suspended
221 * //CLEANUP// - Start the cleanup procedure, sending the trains back to their home tacks
222 * //DEBUG// - enable or disable verbose output, must supply additional payload
223 ** **state** - boolean value, true if verbose output should be activated
224 * //LIGHT// - activate or deactivate the lights on the railway, must supply additional payload\\
225 ** **state** - boolean value, true if lights should be lit
226 * //WAIT// - Force a train to wait in the next station, must supply additional payload
227 ** **train** - integer train identification
228 * //START// - Force a waiting train to immediately abort the waiting timer, must supply additional payload
229 ** **train** - integer train identification
230 * //SCHEDULE// - Set the new schedule for a train, needs additional payload
231 ** **train** - integer train identification
232 ** **currentIndex** - current integer position in the schedule array
233 ** **tracks** - a JSON Array of integer values, representing the station tracks in encoding above
234 * //SPEED //- Change the speed settings of a train, needs additional payload
235 ** **train** - integer train identification
236 ** **speeds** - JSON Array with three integer values (% class="confluence-link" %)spdSlow, spdCaution, spdNormal
237 * //TIME// - Change the waiting times for a train
238 ** **train** - integer train identification
239 **times** - a flat array of the form [station1_minTime, station1_maxTime, station2_minTime, station2_maxTime, ...]. The order of the stations is defined by the order in the table above but the KH (reverse) tracks are omitted.
