JavaScript Remote Scripting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

JavaScript Remote Scripting (JSRS) is a web development technique for creating interactive web applications using a combination of:

• HTML (or XHTML)
• The Document Object Model manipulated through JavaScript to dynamically display and interact with the information presented
• A transport layer. Different technologies may be used, though using a script tag or an iframe is used the most because it has better browser support than XMLHttpRequest.
• A data format. XML with WDDX can be used as well as JSON or any other text format.

Schematic

A similar approach is Ajax, though it depends on the XmlHttpRequest in newer web browsers.
