Re: Does the choice of framework matter to ease of ajax dynamic front-end coding?

I don't know much of other frameworks, but I can list why doing it in CakePHP is a snap

* Automatic rendering of json views depending on the accept headers including error pages

* Automatic layout selections for ajax calls that return html

* The CRUD plugin, a super simple yet extremely powerful plugin to help you build applications with nearly no code http://friendsofcake.com/crud/docs/

* Debugging tools like DebugKit, really help you looking at what's behind the scenes even on ajax requests

* It helps you organize the code, other frameworks let you built the API basically anywhere. We encourage you to put the code where it belongs and keep stuff clean

* Already made plugins for integrating with stuff like angular, ember or backbone js.

* It has a yummy name :)

Thank you for the reply. I will need to do in-place editing of data tables. Some data tables displayed needs to be dynamic like stock prices updating in real-time but they need not be editable. I am hoping to find similar jquery (or even better, cakephp) projects which accomplish these tasks. Would you happen to know of any?

May I ask why CakePHP is simpler to work with ajax compared to other frameworks?

I think it does matter to certain degree, if the framework helps you select the templates and layouts to use when requesting some content via ajax or as another type (like json or xml), you end up saving a lot of time. You're on the good place, then. CakePHP makes it extremely simple to work with ajax applications and with building APIs.

What are your requirements? Do you need any extra tips on how to use ajax in cakephp?

I have an upcoming project which may use lots of ajax dynamic front-end features. Does the choice of framework matter to ease of ajax dynamic front-end coding? I have never used ajax before, so I am kind of nervous at whether cakephp would be the right choice or if there is a simpler framework.

My understanding is that for ajax, it makes web services calls to the controller through sending the right URL and the controller returns the reply in json. Therefore, it should not really matter which framework is used because to the ajax, it just makes the right web service calls. Is my understanding correct? Thank you.
