Abstract

A system, method, and article of manufacture are provided for efficiently retrieving data. A total amount of data required for an application executed by a client is determined. In a single call, the total amount of data from a server is requested over a network. All of the data is bundled into a data structure by the server in response to the single call. The bundled data structure is sent to the client over the network and the data of the data structure is cached on the client. The cached data of the data structure is used as needed during execution of the application on the client.
