Summary
You’ve been introduced to the XmlHttpRequest object as well as a few of the data formats that you can pass, inherently, through the dynamic process.Many developers will admit that XML is a powerful tool, but as you’ve seen, it’s not the ONLY tool available. I’ve brought JSON into the context of this book because there are a few Ajax libraries that rely heavily on JavaScript Object Notation as the carrier of choice for their asynchronous data. Given a chance, you may find yourself using the tool with other non-Ajax development projects.
In the next chapter, we’ll take a look at the impact that Ajax has had on n-tier development structures. I’ll suggest a “means to an end” for ensuring that your application structures maintain established patterns, while implementing asynchronous technologies.
