Aspects of AJAX is a platform for developing responsive and interactive web applications by using and extending the browser platforms to a Rich Client System. (Documentation, Download and AJAX Engine Demo WebSite)

Features and criteria of this platform:

• Cross Browser compatible JavaScript framework.
• Standard SOAP protocol is used for the communication between the client and the server.
• No need for special implementations in the WebServices.
• Using standard WebServices protocols for asynchronous client-server communications: (SOAP, WSDL)
• Automatic generation of JavaScript proxies for WebServices.
• Multiple data types and XML are support as parameters and return values
• Synchronous and asynchronous method invocations.
• Fast Response.
• Client and server side Response caching.
• Client side AJAX Engine that makes asynchronous client side processing easy.
• AJAX Actions, queuing actions, scheduling actions
• Integration into the Microsoft ASP.NET framework.
• Integration of the core engine into the JAVA platform is available.
• AJAX Controls library

By using standard WebServices for the communication and by using client-side proxies for these services you reach a programming level that it is similar to other Rich Client application platforms. This is more than a thin wrapper over the XMLHttpRequest object that is now available in most modern browsers.

AJAX Actions provide a mechanism of binding asynchronous server calls and the client side asynchronous processing together using a declarative and "good readable" approach in pure JavaScript.

AJAX Controls are specialized ASP.NET Controls that bring AJAX functionalities into web pages and Web Forms on a component level.

The framework is built modular available and documented to make it possible to "pick out" the modules and functionalities you need in your applications.

A AJAX Engine Demo WebSite is available.

Aspects of AJAX is combined with an active blog to provide extra information on the ideas and concepts behind the implementation of this framework.
