Zapatec, Inc., a leading provider of AJAX development tools, today announced the availability of its standards- based Zapatec AJAX Suite. The Suite provides ease of AJAX deployment without sacrificing functionality, helping web developers reduce the time and cost to create superior commercial-grade Web 2.0 applications.


"While several companies like IBM, Sun, and Microsoft have announced their plans to provide AJAX solutions, the Zapatec AJAX Suite and its components are available today, and are already being deployed by real customers," said Dror Matalon, president of Zapatec. "Our AJAX components are feature-rich, yet easy to deploy. We help developers take their Web applications to the next level by plugging the Zapatec AJAX form or grid into their applications in just a few hours, versus days or weeks."

The standards-based Zapatec AJAX Suite provides developers an easy deployment path, from using multiple components to using the entire suite to provide a full desktop experience. It is cross-browser compatible and uses standard protocols such as: HTML, CSS, XML and JSON.
