Echo

About

Echo is a compact library for making Ajax requests, built off of WeideMo's MiniAjax Weighing in at under 100 lines of code, Echo provides a convenient interface for Ajax requests, both GET and POST. It also provides innate JSON parsing where possible. Echo was built in order to be used as a compact and intuitive Ajax library for development on the Atheos IDE, however it's proved so valuable as to become it's own mini library. Echo returns the XMLHttpRequest in order to faciliate aborts, and encourage further customization. Only the URL is required in order to send an Echo; All other options are optional and the type defaults to POST.

Echo is licensed under MIT, 2021
