Why Use an Ajax Library or Framework?

With Ajax you will make web applications richer, more powerful and easier to use. An Ajax Framework makes Ajax development much faster and creates more maintainable applications. Below are several examples of how Backbase customers have used Ajax technology.

Ajax Forms

In a lot of web applications, users need to enter information in web forms: converting a form to an Ajax form increases the usability and conversion rate. With an Ajax form users are guided through the process, are less likely to make mistakes, and generally have a better user experience. The Backbase Ajax toolkit contains a sample Ajax form in the ‘Examples’ directory.

Ajax Portal

Portals are a proven concept to present a lot of information in a single web page. However, traditional portals can be awkward to use because of frequent page refreshes. With an Ajax portal you will make the user interface more friendly because the portal can be updated without refreshing the page. Also, you can use advanced Ajax GUI concepts such as drag-and-drop to create a state-of-the-art Ajax portal.

Ajax Web Application

In many companies there are custom applications that need to be modernized: client-server applications have to be migrated to the Web, and existing web applications need a richer user interface. Ajax will play an important role here, because Ajax Web applications can be as powerful as desktop applications, but still run in a standard web browser.

Ajax Website

If you run a very interactive website, such as a shop or a travel portal, the use of Ajax will increase customer satisfaction and customer retention. A well-designed Ajax website provides better information to the visitors, and allows them to get this information more quickly. Ajax can be added gradually, so you don’t have to start from scratch to get the benefits of an Ajax website.
