Modern web sites and applications use Ajax to create engaging user experiences: the HTML and CSS are set in motion using JavaScript running in the browser and calling back the server. To achieve this, the server needs to prepare the web page appropriately, and to know what to do when the JavaScript calls it. But the server knows nothing about the HTML and CSS DOM, nor how to handle JavaScript data, and you can’t code it in JavaScript… Jaxer changes all that. Jaxer is the world’s first true Ajax server. HTML, JavaScript, and CSS are native to Jaxer, as are XMLHttpRequests, JSON, DOM scripting, etc. And as a server it offers access to databases, files, and networking, as well as logging, process management, scalability, security, integration APIs, and extensibility. * Write entire applications or presentation layers in Ajax * Full DOM and JavaScript on the server * Seamless communications between browser and server * Access existing pages written in other languages like PHP, Java, or Ruby on Rails * Share validation code on the browser and server * Database, file, and socket access from JavaScript * Open-source, standards-based, and uses the APIs you already know.
