Currently, different Ajax libraries of various developers are not always compatible with each other. While each library uses the accepted standards of XML and JavaScript, but libraries are still incompatible with each other. When you use conflicts arise between objects JavaScript, and sometimes lost opportunity to build Ajax-application to a function, for example, drag the object arm. The emergence of universally accepted standards for Ajax to rectify the situation. After the release of OpenAjax various Ajax-library can be compatible with each other and they can be used together on the same page.

If the OpenAjax Alliance will achieve its goal, and all libraries will be compatible with each other, the very technology Ajax will be more efficient and become more popular, like all Web 2.0 applications.

The first version of OpenAjax Hub will be held before the end of this year, and its integration into different packages for developers is expected in early 2007, reports Infoworld.

Support for the standard will be implemented in such development packages as Dojo and script.aculo.us, as well as Tibco General Interface and programs from companies Backbase, JackBe and Nexaweb. All these companies belong to an alliance or actively cooperate with him. Since its inception in February of this year doubled the number of members of the alliance. From the outset, it was composed of 27 companies, including Adobe, Borland, Dojo Foundation, Google, IBM, Intel, Mozilla, Novell, Opera and Red Hat. Now they have joined nearly three dozen companies, including Sun. The only major player who is absent among the partners - is a corporation Microsoft. It has long been sent an invitation and is now waiting for it to join the rest, although this may not happen.

Microsoft - one of the leading developers of Ajax-tools. At the moment she is preparing to release a set of programs under the name Atlas. It would seem, for the establishment of common standards is no less important than for all others. But Microsoft has already announced that so far has no plans to join the alliance OpenAjax, while cooperating with his players.

Just quote a piece from the section about the site, it will all be clear.
