[dojo.data] change datastores to use SimpleBaseStore

[skinner]

We should convert a lot of the dojo.data datastores to inherit from dojo.data.core.SimpleBaseStore?. A number of our older datastore implementations were written back before SimpleBaseStore? existed. Now that we have SimpleBaseStore?, we should use it as a standard abstract superclass for most of those older datastores. The datastores implementations will be simpler and more consistent after the change.

Here's what that current inheritance hierarchy looks like:

+ OpmlStore extends nothing
+ SimpleBaseStore extends nothing
   + JsonItemStore extends SimpleBaseStore
+ RemoteStore extends nothing
   + CsvStore extends RemoteStore
   + DeliciousStore extends RemoteStore
   + YahooStore extends RemoteStore 
   + RdfStore extends RemoteStore 

Here's what I think a better inheritance hierarchy would look like:

+ SimpleBaseStore extends nothing
   + JsonItemStore extends SimpleBaseStore
   + OpmlStore extends SimpleBaseStore
   + CsvStore extends SimpleBaseStore
   + DeliciousStore extends SimpleBaseStore
   + YahooStore extends SimpleBaseStore
   + RemoteStore extends SimpleBaseStore 
      + RdfStore extends RemoteStore

Corrected documentation in the simpleFetch utility function

Modified basicComparator to handle undefined values

First implementation of the CsvStore? in the dojox branch, includes UT

The three patches uploaded on 4/29 were created by me (Michael Smith, msmith [CLA]).

This is the initial port of CsvStore? into dojox, using simpleFetch as a mixin class for the CsvStore?.

The modification to basicComparator is required for the "sort" Unit Tests to pass.

Data types are not yet implemented, so sorting numbers is lexicographic.

Two trivial corrections to documentation on the dojo.data.api.Read interface.

(In [8397]) Applying two patches from Michael Smith for minor documentation updates (dojo.data.util.simpleFetch_20070429.patch and dojo.data.api.Read_20070501.patch). refs #2542

(In [8398]) Committing in Michael Smith patch for CsvStore? port to dojox.data and UT. Minor updtae to patch by Jaredj to remove a couple bits of whitespace. refs #2542

The CsvStore? addition was tested against:

Windows: Firefox 2.0.0.3 Firefox 1.5.0.11 IE 6 IE 7 Opera 9.2

OS-X: WebKit?

OpmlStore? patch and UT files

[guest]

Attached the OpmlStore? patch with unit tests. This is a first pass patch that will probably need to be updated before committing it into dojox.

Round 2 of the OpmlStore? implementation

(In [8670]) Commit of theOpmlStore patch from Michael Smith. refs #2542

Changing this to 1.0. We've ported the main stores over and added Flickr. so delicious isn't as important now and could be ported in 1.0 timeframe.

We've proted everything I think we're going to port for now. Closing thos.
