- OpenNTF's LotusScript Class Map: 97 Classes on One Interactive Page, Open-Source Data Behind It
OpenNTF released a LotusScript Class Map for HCL Domino 14.5.1 in 2026 — 97 classes, 1,001 properties, 997 methods, 72 events laid out on one interactive visual map, every node clickable through to the HCL docs. This piece covers what the tool does, the open-source license and JSON data behind it, and why it's useful for picking topics, planning learning paths, and exploring the API surface.
2026.05.08 - LotusScript's Outbound HTTP / JSON Toolchain: NotesHTTPRequest + NotesJSONNavigator
Domino V12 added NotesHTTPRequest and NotesJSONNavigator to LotusScript, so calling an external REST API and parsing the JSON response is finally a self-contained LS workflow — no more ActiveX shims or shelling out to curl. This guide covers both classes' methods and properties, the PreferJSONNavigator property that wires them together as an official path, a complete example, and where Java / SSJS land in comparison.
2026.05.07 - NotesXMLProcessor: The Common Base for LotusScript XML Handling
NotesXMLProcessor is the abstract base class behind every LotusScript XML handler — DOMParser, SAXParser, DXLExporter, DXLImporter, and XSLTransformer all inherit from it. This guide covers the role it plays, the five derived classes and when to pick which, the inherited properties, the SetInput / SetOutput / Process trio, and the Release 6 / no-COM caveats that don't make it into most quick refs.
2026.05.06 - Domino IQ RAG: A Built-In Pipeline That Wires Your NSFs Straight Into a Local LLM
Domino 14.5.1 adds RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) support to Domino IQ, running the LLM, embedding model, and vector database all on the Domino server itself — local execution, with NSF ACL and Readers fields enforced natively. This guide walks through prerequisites, the two-phase dominoiq.nsf configuration, updall vectorization, calling LLMReq from LotusScript, and why this is a different species from the OpenAI + Pinecone pipeline.
2026.05.05 - Domino IQ: What It Means to Run an LLM Inside the Domino Server
Domino 14.5 introduces Domino IQ — an AI inference engine baked into the Domino server backend, callable from LotusScript via NotesLLMRequest / NotesLLMResponse without ever leaving the box. This guide covers the architecture, hardware requirements, install flow, the two-phase dominoiq.nsf configuration, the Command and System Prompt document model, and why this trade-off works for existing Domino shops where bolting on OpenAI doesn't.
