Ajax: Solution for Developing More Responsive Web Application

Note: Your writing is good in term of organization and grammar. The problems; who are your readers? I am afraid that this article will be boring and has no character. In other words, “why do you write this?”

Even when the web has evolved to as advanced as now, developers still have to face so many limitations when building web application. It seems impossible to build a web application without characteristics like having to reload web page after every change made, less interactivity, and that static feel of the page. To overcome the problem, new technology and techniques have been developed. One of the techniques that has become popular is Ajax.

Ajax stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. What it mainly does is transferring data by making asynchronous calls to the server from which it was loaded. The data may then be used to update or modify the information on the HTML page presented to user. Each update is small and does not require the browser to reload the page, therefore making the page more interactive and responsive to user action.

Ajax has been used in many web applications that require high interactivity and fast response. One small example is Google Suggest. In Google suggest, when user type a few letters the program will list a number of matching or nearly matching phrases, as well as the number of results found. The suggestion comes in no time, there is almost no loading and there is no page-refreshing at all.

In this paper we will explain more about Ajax, like:
