AJAX

AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a web development technique used for creating interactive web applications. The intent is to make web pages feel more responsive by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes, so that the entire web page does not have to be reloaded each time the user requests a change. This is intended to increase the web page's interactivity, speed, functionality, and usability.

AJAX is asynchronous in that extra data is requested from the server and loaded in the background without interfering with the display and behaviour of the existing page. JavaScript is the scripting language in which Ajax function calls are usually made. Data is retrieved using the XMLHttpRequest object that is available to scripting languages run in modern browsers. There is, however, no requirement that the asynchronous content is formatted in XML.

AJAX is a cross-platform technique usable on many different operating systems, computer architectures, and web browsers as it is based on open standards such as JavaScript and the DOM. There are free and open source implementations of suitable frameworks.

AJAX can be used to bridge the gap between the desktop environment and the static nature of websites. In past years, the Internet served static content to a browser and interactivity was provided using add-ons such as Java and ActiveX, but with AJAX, highly rich interfaces can be served directly from the browser, providing features such as drag and drop as well as call backs which spreads the processing across both the server and the client browser.

We have the skills and the tools to create scalable and highly interactive rich internet applications built using AJAX.
