High-performance JavaScript callback handler
JavaScript callback handler is an interim solution for high-performance server requests including (but not limited to) AHAH, AJAX, JSON, XML, etc.
Note that this module does nothing on itself, only install it if another module leverages its functionality and instructs you so.
By copying the included js.php front controller to Drupal's root directory, setting up clean URLs, and adding an Apache RewriteRule (see README for full installation instructions), any JavaScript code is able to retrieve information from Drupal at lightning speed.
Apache benchmarks speak for itself:
Using index.php as usual:
ab -n20 -c1 http://example.com/index.php?q=js/mymodule/callback
Requests per second: 2.24 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request: 446.846 [ms] (mean)Using js.php:
ab -n20 -c1 http://example.com/js.php?q=js/mymodule/callback
Requests per second: 16.84 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request: 59.371 [ms] (mean)Requirements
