Ajax stands for Asynchronous Javascript and XML, is not a new
technology. It is a programming approach for web applications where data,
content and presentation are seamlessly integrated. In simple terms, Ajax is
used to reduce the feedback time when a visitor submits some data through your
website or application. It is a method to interact with the server to send data
to and fro without the need to refresh the page. The benefits are an enriched
user experience and reduction in network bandwidth.
Ajax when used on a website involves the use of :
- XHTML and CSS standards for presentation purposes
- Use of the Page DOM (Document Object Model)
- XML/XSLT - Retrieval of data Asynchronously using the XMLHttpRequest Object
- Javascript
Briefly, Ajax provides the following advantages:
-
Browser independent
There are no restrictions on which platforms and/or browsers Ajax will run.
-
Widely Accepted
Large enterprises, Government agencies and Businesses have adopted the use of Ajax.
-
Implementation Platforms
Ajax can be used with a wide array of web server(s) and/or server-side languages like PHP,ASP,ASP.NET,Cold Fusion and many others.
-
Standards based
Ajax is standards based and it offers an easy integration model with HTML/XHTML.
As an example, an application that requires a user to submit multiple sets of information by moving from page to page, is a good candidate for Ajax.
