subject: Ajax Development Services: Offering Speedy Browsing Experience To Surfers [print this page] AJAX is a popular web development model used in dynamic and speedy interactive web applications. Its expanded form is Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It is not a new technology but is a combination several pre-existing technologies which include XHTML and CSS, XML and XSLT, XMLHttpRequest, and Document Object Model, which is accessed with JavaScript. These technologies have been around for quite some time are used by programmers for developing tried, tested, and trusted solutions. And AJAX uses the best of these technologies to create dynamic web applications. Many development companies, cashing on the success of this model, have started offering AJAX development services.
An AJAX engine, which is written in JavaScript, is loaded with the web browser when a surfing session is started. The engine delivers the interface for the surfer and also serves as a medium for communication with the server. With help of the AJAX engine, the surfer asynchronously interacts with the application. This results in a faster browsing experience. In fact, the user need not stare at an hourglass icon if he is using an AJAX engine.
The main advantage of AJAX is it decreases user delay making surfing a speedy experience. When a surfer request for a web page, several applications are at work to execute your request. Different applications refresh before finally interacting with the complete page. This can be a cumbersome and time-taking affair. And when the page is loaded with heavy graphics, the wait is even longer. AJAX technology cuts down on this user waiting time. AJAX development services companies can therefore keep both the website owner and also its users at an advantageous position. AJAX also enables a decreased bandwidth use. In AJAX, bandwidth is used for accomplishing specific demands and does not require page re-loading.
Ever since Google popularize the use of this technology few years back, the number of AJAX development companies has risen sharply. You can also choose to outsource AJAX development to an Asian software development company to cut down on development cost. India, China and Philippines are the top outsourcing destinations specializing in AJAX web solutions development.
This allows for information to be presented dynamically and in a manner that allows interaction. XMLHttpRequest objects enable asynchronous data exchange with web servers. XML (Extensible Markup Language) provides the format for transmitting data between server and client. The most important detail for formatting data in Ajax is server-side scripting. Server-side scripting allows user requests to be processed by running the script directly on the server to make dynamic and interactive HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) web pages. It is used to format and present the interface between a web page and a database.
