Subject: RE: OOT - Ajax definitiondear all,
[snip]
We all knew that AJAX is an achronym of Asynchronous Javascript And XML.
When I use another data format like YAML or CSV, will it still be called
as
AJAX?
Or just "yet another asynchronous method"?
[/snip]
AJAX makes a good catch-all term since the API is called XMLHttpRequest
and the API can be used with all sorts of text data. The asynchronous
method is still JavaScript (or is it ECMAScript?). Its original intent
was XML data (just text with mark-up). Besides, AJAP (Asynchronous
JavaScript and PHP) just doesn't sound right somehow.
AJAH - and HTML
AJAA - and ASP
AJA.N - and .NET
AJAC - and CSV
AJAT - and TXT
AJACF - and Cold Fusion
AJAPL - and PERL
Just let the X stand for 'unknown'.
Satyam
And so on.....
