Hi:

    I'll soon be designing/building a web app with (I believe) a lot of 
Ajaxing involved.

    I've heard of and visited the www.backbonejs.org site but was confused 
by this packages terms: 'Models', 'Collections' (??), and 'Views'

    Is there any other simpler AJAX library that I can use to:

    -    Send client-entered data via charcter strings to my server 
databases (which are xBase and not SQL).

    -    Receive data from my server and populate fields on my client's 
browser window.

    -    I run my own Apache Server, and have a lot of expertise in my own 
particular database structures and use.  My server itself manipulates my 
databases easily, quickly, regularly.

    Two years ago, I tried doing this with my own (simplistic) AJAX 
routines, and it worked (barely). But this time I wish to move up to a solid 
Ajax library, that I can use at arm's length, and have less worry about 
uncaptured errors, unreceived packets, etc.

    So,  I'd appreciate some Ajax library suggestions please. (or should I 
just keep doing my own Ajax stuff ?)

Thank you.
