First of all AJAX is not Properiety and it is not from Google or any other company.

Like DHTML and LAMP, AJAX is not a technology in itself, but a group of technologies.

AJAX uses a combination of:
HTML and CSS for marking up and styling information.
The DOM accessed with JavaScript to dynamically display and interact with the information presented.
A method for exchanging data asynchronously between browser and server, thereby avoiding page reloads. The XMLHttpRequest (XHR) object is usually used, but sometimes an IFrame object or a dynamically added <script> tag is used instead.
A format for the data sent to the browser. Common formats include XML, pre-formatted HTML, plain text, and JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). This data could be created dynamically by some form of server-side scripting.

The reason the people were using this extensively is because with AJAX we can avoid page reloads. We can make the website behave like a desktop applicaiton. I can display data without reloading entire page. The perfect example would be gmail.

It is a method for exchanging data asynchronously between browser and server, thereby avoiding page reloads.

I hope this helps.
 
Hi all,

What do you think of AJAX?
Some of my friends are web programmers, and they all extensively used AJAX when building web applications for their clients.
They said to me that they are not concerned about the security poblems or server workload posed by AJAX, because
1. AJAX orginated from big biz company Google,
2. people all apply AJAX when developing their web applications,
3. all their clients like AJAX

My question are simple:
Is AJAX really safe to use?
Why do people rely on it so much?
