jajax.js

jAJAX

jQuery-like AJAX method for multiple environments: browser, chrome-extension, safari-extension, firefox-extension.

You can use it even in Node.js with node-XMLHttpRequest.

Usage

jajax(options: object, ondone: function, onerror: function)
// or in Promise mode
jajax(options: object).then(onresolve, onreject)
/*  where
 *    options is "url" or {url:"url", dataType:"type", method: "GET", ...}, similar to jQuery.ajax(options)
 *
 *    function ondone(result, statusText, xhr[, response]);
 *    function onerror(xhr, type: "error"|"parsererror"|"abort"|"timeout"|"xhr", error[, response]);
 * 
 *    Note: In Firefox there is response object instead of XHR, xhr is a plain object substitute 
 *    Note 2: The error object of onreject also has error.xhr and error.response properties.
 */

The following expression could easily replace jAJAX when jQuery is present:

var jajax = function (options, ondone, onerror) {
    return jQuery.ajax(options).done(ondone).fail(onerror)
};

For more options see jQuery.ajax().

Features

• No external dependencies (no jQeury required)
• Small footprint (~ 2.5Kb minified and gziped)
• Easy to use (see jQuery.ajax())
• Works in Browser Extensions as well (tested in chrome-extension, safari-extension, firefox-extension)
• Can be used as a drop in replacement for jQuery.ajax()
