AJAX ASP

This lesson is part of XML · All levels

Summary

Active Server Pages (ASP) is a classic server scripting technology that can set up data for AJAX pages, for example generating XML from internal data sources. The client calls the ASP script via XMLHttpRequest, and then receives a structured data response. This pattern is similar to PHP: logic and data access remain on the server side.

Key points

The ASP runs on the server side and prepares data for the client
Response.Write used to write output to the client
AJAX responses should be structured data, not full HTML pages
Separation of data and display makes maintenance easier
ASP patterns are similar to PHP in AJAX architecture
