Ajax technology will become an important technical source driving Web2.0

Zimbra, a small software company, recently announced that it had received $16 million in risk funding. An open-source version of email server software based on AJAX technology will be released next month.

The most influential Ajax applications come from Google, such as Google discussion groups, Google Maps, Google search recommendations, and Gmail.

Ajax has become the mainstream application technology of Web2.0. Ajax (read as "Ajax") refers to "Asynchronous JavaScript + XML". programmers use a series of standardized technologies such as JavaScript and XML for application development, this allows us to experience the rich features of desktop programs on the web page.

Google maps allows you to move a map on the screen with the mouse. Microsoft's next-generation Hotmail will mainly rely on Microsoft's Ajax tools. Yahoo Mail Client will also add Ajax function. Many software companies hope That Ajax, combined with the desktop graphical user interface and network advantages, can revitalize the PC software industry.

With XML and Network Service Standards, developers can also obtain information from data sources in the background. For software users, this means that information on the webpage, such as search results or RSS feedback, can be automatically updated without refresh the page.

The biggest advantage of AJAX is that data can be maintained without refreshing the entire page. This allows web applications to respond more quickly to user interaction and avoid sending unchanged information on the network. Another major advantage of Ajax applications is cross-platform. Since Ajax applications are Web-based, they can run on any operating system. This cross-platform nature allows users to access Ajax applications running on webpages from different locations and devices. In addition, Web-based programs allow enterprise IT administrators to manage programs more easily.

Yi Guan International believes that AJAX is expected to become an important technical source driving Web2.0. Ajax is a standard created without creating new technologies. It skillfully combines JavaScript and XML to give birth to a good commercial application. Judging from the use of Ajax by mainstream manufacturers, this immature technology will shine brightly in more commercial applications and be continuously improved.
