Using Ajax with C++

Wt (pronounce wit-ty), is a C++ library to develop web applications. The API is widget-centric, and inspired by existing C++ Graphical User Interface APIs. To the developer, it offers complete abstraction of any web-specific implementation details. Page-based frameworks (such as based on PHP or JSP/JSF (+ servlets + struts)) for developing web application do not make abstraction of the peculiarities of the underlying technologies (HTML, JavaScript, CSS, AJAX, Forms, DHTML). As a consequence, a developer must gain familiarity with all of these (evolving) technologies. Moreover, when chosing to use a technology, the developer is responsible for graceful degradation when the technology is not available or disabled in the browser. At the same time, the structure of the application follows mostly the page-centric paradigm of early day HTML.
