subject: Ajax Development Services: Speeding Up Your Web Experience [print this page] AJAX is a web application model which uses the advantageous features of different technologies, each performing different functions to produce dynamic and interactive web applications. AJAX is an acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It incorporates technologies such as XHTML, CSS, Document Object Model, XML, XSLT, XMLHttpRequest, and JavaScript. All these technologies are combined to give users a quick browsing experience.
In their effort to provide better and faster services, many web enterprises have consulted companies providing AJAX development services. One of basic advantages of using AJAX technology is that it reduces the time a web page takes to load. The waiting period is significantly reduced after a user serves a page request. In a conventional web framework, processing a user request is a lengthy process. First, a HTTP request is sent to the server, the server then processes the request and then returns an HTML page to the user. As such, different applications are required to complete the job, which can be time consuming. The AJAX model cut down on the delay with the introduction of an AJAX engine.
The AJAX engine is loaded by the browser at the start of a web session. It renders the interface for the end user and also communicates with the server on his behalf. The interaction with the application happens asynchronously without the communication with the server. This engine handles response to user actions which do not require HTTP request trips back to the server. When the engine requires the servers help in responding to particular requests, these requests are made asynchronously so that the user's interaction with the application is not suspended even for a brief period.
AJAX has been given a thumbs-up by many big web enterprises including Google. Many web application developers have also started providing AJAX development services. AJAX development can also be outsourced for saving development cost. Many web application development companies in China and India offer interactive and dynamic web applications development based on AJAX technology. With a tradition for serving global clients, these AJAX development companies a customer-oriented service which is both reliable and cost-effective.
