AJAX is an acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It is a technology that is becoming increasingly popular as it provides meants to establish the communication in the background between a Web browser and a Web server.
AJAX permits executing actions and updating parts of Web pages without reloading the whole page.
Despite it has been introduced with Internet Explorer 5.5, only recently this technology has been implemented by Mozilla browsers and other browsers that followed the trend.
The wide adoption of AJAX opened space for applications and components that use AJAX to provide highly interactive Web based user interfaces.
This package is one of the three, released almost at the same time in August 2005, that provide means to facilitate the creation of PHP applications that take advantage of AJAX potential.

This class can be used to make the browser invoke actions executed on the server side without reloading the current page.
It sends what is known as AJAX requests that consist in Javascript calls that sends HTTP requests to the server encapsulate the eventual parameters of the requested actions. Parameters can be any type of data, including objects, arrays, strings, numbers and booleans.
The class generates Javascript code with a behavior that can be customized by the developer using event handler functions also in Javascript.
On the server side the class can handle the requests dispatching the invoked function and passing eventual parameters. Also, class methods can be called by setting the objects instance.
The class supports requests done using both GET and POST methods, and requests types: ASYNC and SYNC.
Support PHP versions 4 and 5. Requires DOMIT! XML Parser to work.
