What is AJAX Toolkit Framework? (From IBM’s Site)
AJAX Toolkit Framework (ATF) provides extensible tools for building IDEs for the many different AJAX (asynchronous JavaScript and XML) run-time environments (such as Dojo, Zimbra, etc.). This technology also contains features for developing, debugging, and testing AJAX applications. The framework provides enhanced JavaScript editing features such as edit-time syntax checking; an embedded Mozilla Web browser; an embedded DOM browser; and an embedded JavaScript debugger.
An additional and unique aspect of the framework is the Personality Builder function, which assists in the construction of IDE features for arbitrary AJAX run-time frameworks and 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 software development and research labs. This technology has also been proposed as an Eclipse Incubation Project.
