<dt id="term-controller">controller</dt>
<dd>In MVC design, the controller is in charge of things. It takes
processes events and decides what data to ask the <a class="reference internal" href="#term-model"><em class="xref std std-term">model</em></a> for,
manipulates the data according to the information in the event, and
decides which <a class="reference internal" href="#term-view"><em class="xref std std-term">view</em></a> to send the results to to be rendered.</dd>
<dt id="term-csrf">CSRF</dt>
<dd><p class="first"><a class="reference external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_request_forgery">Cross-site request forgery</a> is a
technique where a malicious website can gain access to another web
site by hijaacking a currently open session that the user has open to
the site. This technique can also affect identification via SSL
Certificates or anything else that the browser sends to the server
automatically when a request is made.</p>

and an expanded set of scripts that can be added that provide widgets
and other features.</p>

<dt id="term-double-submit">double submit</dt>
<dd>A strategy to foil <a class="reference internal" href="#term-csrf"><em class="xref std std-term">CSRF</em></a> attacks. This strategy involves
sending the value of the authentication cookie (or something derivable
only from knowing the value of the authentication cookie) in the body
of the request. Since the <a class="reference internal" href="#term-same-origin-policy"><em class="xref std std-term">Same Origin Policy</em></a> prevents a web
site other than the one originating the cookie from reading what’s in
the cookie, the server can be reasonably assured that the request does
not originate from an unknown request on another website. Note that
this and other anti-CSRF measures do not protect against spoofing or
getting a user to actively click on a link on an attacked website by
mistake.</dd>
<dt id="term-json">JSON</dt>
<dd><p class="first"><a class="reference external" href="http://json.org">JavaScript Object Notation</a> is a format for
marshalling data. It is based on a subset of JavaScript that is used
to declare objects. Compared to xml, JSON is a lightweight, easily
parsed format.</p>

similar framework to coders but has some notable differences. It is
based on pylons and paste so it is much more tightly integrated with
<a class="reference internal" href="#term-wsgi"><em class="xref std std-term">WSGI</em></a>. The differences with :ref`TurboGears`1 are largely with
the organization of code and how to configure the application.</p>
