Facebook New Open Graph API F8

On the 21st of April on its 8th conference Facebook announced the launch of the new Facebook APT Open Graph which simplifies integration of personal websites and Facebook. The new Open Graph API is based on JSON platform.

The Open Graph protocol enables any web page to become a rich object in a social graph. For instance, this is used on Facebook to enable any web page to have the same functionality as a Facebook Page.

The new Graph API attempts to drastically simplify the way developers read and write data to Facebook. It presents a simple, consistent view of the Facebook social graph, uniformly representing objects in the graph (e.g., people, photos, events, and fan pages) and the connections between them (e.g., friend relationships, shared content, and photo tags).

The New Facebook Wall Publishing method Stream.publish

As recently facebook stopped supporting the feedstory publishing method to publish news on users wall and application developers from now on can't create feed templates. Facebook released a new methods to do so which are: FB.Connect.streamPublish stream.publish Facebook.streamPublish I figured out those new methods when I was building a new facebook application yesterday to predict who will win the soccer match between Egypt and Algeria tonight. It took me sometime to succeed in publishing the story on the wall, so I will share with you my experience and how I solved it out in Coldfusion. As I build my applications using the work of Andrew Duckett who created the Facebook Rest Client Component , I will start from FacebookFBMLCLient.cfc file which contains the methods that communicates with facebook APIs.
