Abstract :
This paper describes the implementation of an AJAX(Asynchronous Javascript And XML) Crawler built in Java. With the advent of Web 2.0, AJAX is being used widely to enhance interactivity and user experience. Also standalone AJAX applications are also being developed. For example, Google Maps, Gmail and Yahoo! Mail are classic examples of AJAX applications. Current crawlers ignore AJAX content as well as dynamic content added through client side script. Thus most of the dynamic content is still hidden. This paper presents an AJAX Crawler and also discusses about the optimizations and issues regarding crawling AJAX.
