A method is provided for exchanging a self discoverable data object between a client executed on a client computing device and a server with a stateless REST-compliant software architecture, which is configured to reply to HTTP requests from a browser engine of the client and to messages from a runtime executable program executed by a runtime executable program interpreter of the client. The method may include receiving an HTTP response from the server, the response including the data object, the data object including a self entity including a URI and a content type of the data object, passing the data object to the runtime executable program at the runtime executable program interpreter for processing. The runtime executable program may communicate with the server using the URI and content type of the data object. Cache controls and an HREF may also be contained in the self entity.
