MapJAX: Data Structure Abstractions for Asynchronous Web Applications

Overview MapJAX provides the abstraction of data structures shared between the browser and the server, based on the familiar primitives of objects, locks, and threads. MapJAX also provides additional features (parallel for loops and prefetching) that help developers minimize response times in their applications. Map- JAX thus allows developers to focus on what they do best - writing compelling applications - rather than worrying about systems issues of data transfer and callback management. The paper describes the design and implementation of the MapJAX framework and shows its use in three prototypical web applications: a mapping application, an email client, and a search-autocomplete application.
