I’m planning a ASP.NET project for which I’m going to use AJAX. I’m researching all the available technologies for doing so in the .NET world. I need a solution that is well documented and stable. The current solutions I’ve found are: 1. ASP.NET AJAX UpdatePanel 2. ASP.NET AJAX with Web Services + JQuery 3. JQuery + Http Handlers
In the second and third solutions the backend would only send JSON or XML messages to the client.
In my experience the best way to go is JQuery with WCF with JSON webservices.
The reason is:
ASP.NET ajax is gives you alot for free in terms of coding but is bloated from the start and needs to be stipted and slimed. On the other hand you have JQuery that you needs more development but is light weight. JQuery has a great plugin library as well.
XML is to slow, JSON is fast.
Thats how I would do it today.
