XML seems like a natural format for passing Ajax data. However, to work with XML in JavaScript using the Document Object Model (DOM) is not always the best way to handle this kind of data. This has given rise to other choices, such as JSON, which provide a more object-like feel for developers. Now ECMAScript for XML (E4X) combines many of the best features of the DOM with extremely easy data binding to provide a more straightforward way to deal with XML in the browser. In this two-part article series, you'll learn to use both E4X and the Prototype JavaScript library to create a simple Ajax mindreader application that plays Twenty Questions and learns about new objects as it goes along. Part 1 shows you how to create a system that takes an existing knowledge base and analyzes it to determine what the user may be thinking.

- AJAX - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - [Clicks: 26]
AJAX or Asynchronous JavaScript and XML is a term describing a web development technique for creating interactive web applications using a combination of: * HTML (or XHTML) and Cascading Style Sheets for presenting information; * Document Object Model, JavaScript to dynamically display and interact with the information presented; * XML, XSLT and the XMLHttpRequest object to interchange and manipulate data asynchronously with the web server (although AJAX applications can use other technologies, including preformatted HTML, plain text, and JSON, as alternatives to XML/XSLT). Like DHTML or LAMP, AJAX is not a technology in itself, but a term that refers to the use of a group of technologies together. AJAX applications use web browsers that support the above technologies as a platform to run on. Browsers that support these technologies include Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari.

AJAX uses JavaScript in an HTML page to make asynchronous calls to the server from which the page loaded and fetch an XML document from a server-side component asynchronously. Upon completion of a request JavaScript may update or modify the Document Object Model (DOM) of the HTML page based on the resulting XML document. Only the affected portions of the HTML DOM are are re-rendered in the HTML page. The term Asynchronous JavaScript and XML has emerged recently to describe this interaction model.
