Also, when I checked out the latest version from git,
I could see that
a jQuery JSON plugin has been added in the js/jquery folder. If this
plugin is being used, should the output for AJAX requests be in JSON
instead of XML? I feel it would be a lot more easier to handle the
output in JSON rather than XML.
I added it because my Setup script uses JSON replies for validation.
Besides, parsing JSON (both constructing and parsing) is faster than
XML, requires less bandwidth and less code to read the response, so I
believe we should stick with that. phpMyAdmin requires PHP 5.2, and
since that version the extension for building JSON responses is part
of PHP core.
For the AJAX calls, do I use the jQuery's
$.get/$.post/$.ajax methods
directly or should I build wrapper functions around them?
If this intermediate layer can be justified, why not.
