The list has been rather quiet lately, I thought I'd ask my question
here to see if anyone is still alive :)

As I understand it, Django doesn't have built in AJAX functionality,
but there are several ways to implement AJAX inside of Django. I am
working on some fun projects (for learning purposes) and realized I'd
also like to learn more about AJAX. I have not used it much in
development before and would like to learn more.

Since there are several options for implementing it within django, I
thought I'd ask for recommendation of
software/middleware/libraries/hoodoo that people have used in the past
to implement AJAX and what they recommend. I don't want to do all my
research in one software to find there is a better one to be learning.

I'm looking more for just general information, but if you have
guides/how-tos you've used before, I wouldn't mind looking over them
as well.

Thank you,

John

I've rolled my own AJAX support, usually allowing a URL to return
HTML, JSON, XML, or whatever format the client wants.

This is fairly trivial in Django and Jquery. I've thought about
building an AJAX framework, but haven't come up with cases where it
would help.
