OpenAjax standard will appear before the end of the year

Currently, different Ajax libraries from different developers are not always compatible with each other. Although in each case the library uses recognized standards of XML and JavaScript, the libraries are still incompatible with each other. When using them, conflicts arise between JavaScript objects, and sometimes the opportunity to embed a particular function in an Ajax application, for example, dragging an object with a mouse, disappears. The emergence of universally accepted Ajax standards should remedy the situation. After the release of OpenAjax, various Ajax libraries can become compatible with each other and can be used together on the same page.

If the OpenAjax alliance achieves its goal and all libraries become compatible with each other, then the Ajax technology itself will be more efficient and much more popular, like all Web 2.0 applications.

The release of the first version of OpenAjax Hub will take place before the end of this year, and its integration into various developer packages is expected in early 2007, reports Infoworld .

Support for the standard will be implemented in such developer packages as Dojo and script.aculo.us, as well as in the Tibco General Interface and programs from Backbase, JackBe and Nexaweb. All of these companies are part of the alliance or actively cooperate with it. Since its creation in February of this year, the number of members of the alliance has doubled. From the outset, it included 27 companies, including Adobe, Borland, the Dojo Foundation, Google, IBM, Intel, Mozilla, Novell, Opera and Red Hat. Nearly three dozen companies have now joined them, including Sun. The only major player that is missing from partners is Microsoft. She was sent an invitation a long time ago and is now waiting for her to join the others, although this may not happen.

Microsoft is one of the leading developers of Ajax tools. At the moment she is preparing to release a set of programs under the general name Atlas . It would seem that for this company the creation of uniform standards is no less important than for all others. But Microsoft has already announced that it does not plan to join the OpenAjax alliance, although it cooperates with its members.
