The publicly-editable Ajax Frameworks Page got a nice kick along in the past few days, presumably due to a recent link from Ajaxian. If this list is anything to go by, the most common language is pure-Javascript, and Java is, as you might have guessed, highest on the server-side, followed by .Net and PHP. Sections for Python and Perl were opened up during this time. Thanks for your contributions!

TIBCO General Interface is a very mature AJAX framework and IDE that was originally brought to market in 2001. Dozens of GUI controls (including charts), built-in data caching, and communication objects provide the foundation for your applications and for the visual tools TIBCO provides, (yes the IDE is an AJAX app that runs in the browser too!)

[…] AJAX frameworks Looking for a list of AJAX frameworks. Michael Mahemoff has compiled a list of them at: http://www.softwareas.com/state-of-the-ajax-frameworks. I didn’t know that there were five of them for ASP.NET, and that doesn’t include Atlas. Wally Published Monday, November 07, 2005 9:50 AM by wallym Edit […]
