AJAX Integration and JSON Support
The Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) support for ASP.NET Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) and the Javascript Object Notation (JSON) data format allow WCF services to expose operations to AJAX clients. AJAX clients are Web pages running Javascript code and accessing these WCF services using HTTP requests. The topics in this section provide information about this support and about how to implement it.
For more information about ASP.NET AJAX and its integration with ASP.NET 2.0, see ASP.NET AJAX Overview.
