works

The client-side/web browser technologies typically used in Web 2.0 development are Ajax, Adobe Flash and JavaScript/Ajax frameworks such as Yahoo! UI Library, Dojo Toolkit, MooTools, and jQuery.

Overall performance of the site can be increased, as the sending of requests can complete quicker independent of blocking and queueing required to send data back to the client.

The data fetched by an Ajax request is typically formatted in XML or JSON format.

Use them to transmit structured data in their web application.

When this data is received via Ajax, the JavaScript program then uses the Document Object Model (DOM) to dynamically update the web page based on the new data.

Web designers can make their pages function like desktop applications. For example, Google Docs uses this technique to create a Web-based word processor.
