JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is often used as an alternative format for data interchange, [15] although other formats such as preformatted HTML or plain text can also be used. [16] A variety of popular JavaScript libraries, including JQuery , include abstractions to assist in executing Ajax requests.
The code generated by RJS was usually loaded using Ajax, e.g. by using Ajax-enabled helper methods Ruby on Rails provides, such as the link_to_remote helper. It was replaced by jQuery as of Rails 3.1 [8] Many of the Ruby on Rails Ajax-enabled helper methods used to work by using Prototype to perform an Ajax request in older versions of Rails.
JSONP, or JSON-P (JSON with Padding), is a historical JavaScript technique for requesting data by loading a <script> element, [1] which is an element intended to load ordinary JavaScript. It was proposed by Bob Ippolito in 2005. [ 2 ]
Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) is a dominant technology for Web services. Developing from the combination of HTTP servers, JavaScript clients and Plain Old XML (as distinct from SOAP and W3C Web Services), now it is frequently used with JSON as well as, or instead of, XML.
In computing, POST is a request method supported by HTTP used by the World Wide Web. By design, the POST request method requests that a web server accepts the data enclosed in the body of the request message, most likely for storing it. [1] It is often used when uploading a file or when submitting a completed web form.
XMLHttpRequest (XHR) is an API in the form of a JavaScript object whose methods transmit HTTP requests from a web browser to a web server. [1] The methods allow a browser-based application to send requests to the server after page loading is complete, and receive information back. [2] XMLHttpRequest is a component of Ajax programming.
The Prototype JavaScript Framework is a JavaScript framework created by Sam Stephenson in February 2005 as part of Ajax support in Ruby on Rails. It is implemented as a single file of JavaScript code, usually named prototype.js. Prototype is distributed standalone, but also as part of larger projects, such as Ruby on Rails, script.aculo.us and ...
The XMLHttpRequest (XHR) object, a tool used by Ajax applications for browser–server communication, can also be pressed into service for server–browser Comet messaging by generating a custom data format for an XHR response, and parsing out each event using browser-side JavaScript; relying only on the browser firing the onreadystatechange ...
