    """ Provider for Ext.Direct. This class handles building API information and
        routing requests to the appropriate functions, and serializing their
        response and exceptions - if any.

        Instantiation:
        >>> EXT_JS_PROVIDER = Provider( [name="Ext.app.REMOTING_API"] )

        After instantiating the Provider, register functions to it like so:

        >>> @EXT_JS_PROVIDER.register_method("myclass")
            def myview( request, possibly, some, other, arguments ):
               " does something with all those args and returns something "
               return 13.37

        Note that those views **MUST NOT** return an HttpResponse but simply
        the plain result, as the Provider will build a response from whatever
        your view returns!

        To be able to access the Provider, include its URLs in an arbitrary
        URL pattern, like so:

        >>> from views import EXT_JS_PROVIDER # import our provider instance
        >>> urlpatterns = patterns(
                # other patterns go here
                ( r'api/', include(EXT_DIRECT_PROVIDER.urls) ),
            )

        This way, the Provider will define the URLs "api/api.js" and "api/router".

        If you then access the "api/api.js" URL, you will get a response such as:
            Ext.app.REMOTING_API = { # Ext.app.REMOTING_API is from Provider.name
                "url": "/mumble/api/router",
                "type": "remoting",
                "actions": {"myclass": [{"name": "myview", "len": 4}]}
                }

        You can then use this code in ExtJS to define the Provider there.
