Ajax for XML editing?

Oct 21st, 2008
Hello! I'm new to Ajax (coming from PHP world), and I've been able to find plenty of examples of Ajax being used to display data from XML on a web page, but I haven't found many examples of Ajax being used to update/edit the content or structure of an XML file through the web page front-end. Is there a reason this doesn't seem to be commonly done?

Thanks!

I wouldn't think so. This should be fairly easy for a competent programmer.

XML when served by the server when making asynchronous requests is purely for the sake of easy data manipulation given that a XML response can be easily inspected/worked upon using the DOM API.

You can, but there doesn't seem to be any real need to do so.
I don't accept change; I don't deserve to live.

Sacrifice is a painful, pure and beautiful thing.
