A very Simple API

JSMX This is a very simple AJAX implementation for ColdFusion Developers (or any language that can easily build JavaScript Strings or XML), This API does not return XML but String Representations of JavaScript Expressions.

  • Using the CFWDDX tag, or the toScript() function, within ColdFusion makes converting your ColdFusion Objects to JavaScript a SNAP!
  • Smaller Packet Sizes over the wire (JavaScript Vs. XML).
  • Reduced latency due to less parsing of the responses.
  • Parameters can be sent to the server in multiple formats including, strings, objects, and entire forms without having to build extra logic to handle each type.
  • API has no Server Side components which makes it more portable (planned).
  • Extremely simple syntax shortens the learning curve and speeds up development.

http( "POST" , "remote.cfc?method=dosomething" , my_callback , params );
