Web-based applications provide an alternative approach to client-server computing using the internet or intranet as the transport mechanism. The invention uses the schema and system catalogs of a relational database to contain and describe the methods, features, functions, and operation of a web-based application. In the invention, a generalized object format is used to minimize bandwidth consumption and substantially improve system performance. Data is converted to and from this generalized object format by both the application server and by the client-side view controller. Formatting of the generalized data object does not rely on or use any form of markup language, markup tags, or DTD's. Transmission of the generalized data object occurs asynchronously over the internet.
