So we have successfully accessed a web service with only an XmlHttpRequest object and nothing more. Having witnessed the various
parsing and intricacies of the SOAP envelope, perhaps you can see why I had claimed earlier that it is far easier to access
web services from server-side code than from manually constructed client-side functions. Implementing an Ajax method, with
web service functionality, is unbelievably easier and faster to roll out.
In the following chapters, we will continue to work with the Ajax library, building even more sample applications from which
we can continue to derive various tidbits of information that we’ll carry on to other Ajax projects.
