What is AJAX Toolkit Framework?

AJAXToolkit Framework (ATF) provides extensible tools for building IDEs forthe many different AJAX (asynchronous JavaScript and XML) run-timeenvironments (such as Dojo, Zimbra,etc.). This technology also contains features for developing,debugging, and testing AJAX applications. The framework providesenhanced JavaScript editing features such as edit-time syntax checking;an embedded Mozilla Web browser; an embedded DOM browser; and anembedded JavaScript debugger.

An additional and unique aspectof the framework is the Personality Builder function, which assists inthe construction of IDE features for arbitrary AJAX run-time frameworksand thus adds to the supported set of run-time environments in the ATF.

AJAX Toolkit Framework is part of the Emerging Technologies Toolkit (ETTK),a special collection of emerging technologies from IBM‘s softwaredevelopment and research labs. This technology has also been proposedas an Eclipse Incubation Project.

AJAX Toolkit Framework was developed by the Emerging Internet Technologies Group.

How does it work?

This technology is based largely upon the Eclipse Web Tools Project.ATF enables support of DOM browsing and JavaScript debugging by usingMozilla XULrunner to embed the Mozilla browser component (Gecko) in theEclipse framework.
