ot so long ago, developers had to work directly with the XMLHTTPRequest object or use some very rudimentary libraries to get any AJAX work done. When I wrote my first article about AJAX on DevX in June of 2005, the technology was still in its infancy. Today, at least a dozen freely available AJAX frameworks offer features that can help developers accomplish even the most complicated tasks.
For this article, I tested how well the most popular non-commercial AJAX frameworks performed during the development of a dynamic call-center application. I put each of the following products through the development scenario:
Prototype
Dojo
Direct Web Remoting (DWR)
Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) Toolkit
Google Web Toolkit (GWT)
