JWambaugh / tiniAjax

Very tiny ajax library that works as a drop-in for jQuery's ajax.

tiniAjax

The tini tiny jQuery Ajax replacement

tiniAjax is an extremely small (less than 1 KB) ajax library designed to mimick jQuery's $.ajax, without the need of the rest of jQuery. It is very simple, and only supports the following subset of config params:

• url - The URL to send to
• data - object containing parameters to send
• type ('POST' or 'GET) - HTTP METHOD to use
• success - function to be executed upon success. This function should expect a string of response data.

Release Notes

1.3

• Now 'type' parameter is case insensitive
• Removed console.log debugging call that should never have been committed

1.2

Now performs deep parameterization of data, just like jQuery. For example:

Tini.ajax({
	url:'example.com'
	,data:{
		name:{
			first: 'Jordan'
			,last: 'Wambaugh'
		}
		,age: 29
		,hobbies:["Programming","Guitar","Motorcycles"]
	}
})

This would get passed to the server as:

"name%5Bfirst%5D=Jordan&name%5Blast%5D=Wambaugh&age=29&hobbies%5B0%5D=Programming&hobbies%5B1%5D=Guitar&hobbies%5B2%5D=Motorcycles&"

And unescaped:

name[first]=Jordan&name[last]=Wambaugh&age=29&hobbies[0]=Programming&hobbies[1]=Guitar&hobbies[2]=Motorcycles&

1.1

This new version is no longer creates jQuery variables. In order to use as a replacement for jQuery, simply create the $ and jQuery variables yourself and assign them to Tini

1.0

Initial release

Example:

var $ = Tini;
$.ajax({
	url:"http://www.example.com/test"
	,type:'POST'
	,data:{
		name:'Jordan'
		,email:'[e-mail]'
	}
	,success:function(response){
		alert("response was: "+response);
	}

});
