till now, I see it just as an acronym "AJAX". if I hear someone talking about "AJAX", so I know that he is talking about mixing JavaScript+XML to make requests to the server Asynchronously.

or maybe he is trying to make it simpler to understand what he is saying through using it as a general word that means any Asynchronous way of communication between browser and server. maybe as it's simpler to say and understand AJAX more than AJAJ (JSON) .. ?!

if I want a more general word, maybe AJR (Asynchronous JavaScript Requests) will fit.

in this case: AJAX, AJAJ .. will be just inheriting AJR. this will make sense for me. also. it will be simpler to explain it to the new comers.

if you are giving a class to some developers on how to use this technique called AJAX that means .... . the you will say "but guys, I will use JSON instead of XML". then someone will raise his hand to ask "can we call this 'AJAJ'? ". will you tell him no it's Ajax but not AJAX?!

this will be confusing.

thank you
