FrameworksFjax Ajax-style web 2.0 development
Fjax is a technique focused on drastically streamlining the XML handling layer of web 2.0 applications. Picture Ajax's XML parsing and handling with less than 65 lines of code! It's not a replacement for toolsets that provide presentation-layer visual gizmos. Think of it as a new engine to put under the hood of all the great widgets that are already out there.
Fjax is the lightweight, cross-browser, rapid-development methodology for Ajax-style web 2.0 development that puts a Flash engine under the hood (not in the presentation layer – read on) to handle realtime XML/HTML content updating.
Fjax enables web 2.0 development, with true, asynchronous (x)HTML content updating without page refreshes. The trick is, it does it with less than 65 lines of code and works in most browsers. It can process multiple streams of data simultaneously, and has an incredibly small footprint (4K!).
Fjax is a simple technique that hacks through all of the complicated code often associated with this type of development by encapsulating the XML handling into a tiny Flash engine that stays behind the scenes and just shuttles data between the server and the browser window. Working in Fjax is simple, and developers can customize and extend the technique with little effort by writing their own Flash engine to suit their needs.
