Heard about feather AJAX, this is a JavaScript library which has been created by Sean Patrick Kane for implementing AJAX functionality on a webpage. The script size is less than 1KB and can work in all modern browsers. It is light weight and can be easily customized.

Sean says that his library is simple and easy to learn and can be found on his personal website, www.celtickane.com/programming/code/ajax.php and downloaded for free. It is available in two versions- a commented version which serves as documentation and an uncommented version which saves bandwidth.

I found these advantages of Feather AJAX on opensource:

• Extremely customizable - The code is so small and compact, it's easy to figure out how it works, and change it to the way that developers like it

• Cross-Browser Support - It works on most, if not all, mainstream browsers that support Javascript. It has a built-in redundancy system to ensure that it will work

• Extremely light weight - The code isn't bloated, so webpages will load fast. The entire purpose of Feather AJAX is to get the job done and over with easily.

• Object Oriented - Because it's object oriented, it gets around an AJAX bug that is really annoying. If one tries to have two AJAX connections going at the same time in Firefox, the second one will fail and an error complaining about NS_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED. As long as the developers create two objects with different names, this error won't present itself.
