ITC/USA 2007 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Third Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 22-25, 2007 / Riviera Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) has improved web applications in a way that has
enhanced performance and made the user experience more like that of a desktop application. As
the performance of PCs increases and broadband Internet access is more prevalent, switching
between web pages is less painful than ever. One of the biggest advantages of AJAX is the
ability for a web application to update only a small piece of data without refreshing the whole
page. AJAX also allows for piecewise validation of user entry as opposed to the standard form
entry with which we have become so accustomed.
This paper describes how AJAX enabled applications are different from classic web applications
and shows the advantages and disadvantages from both client and server sides of an AJAX
enabled application. AJAX is not a new technology, but rather a new approach to web
applications that uses standards already in place for XHTML, CSS, DOM, XML, and JavaScript.
It is this new approach that eliminates the full page refresh that was so commonplace and now
gives web applications the ability to look and feel more like desktop applications.
