# About the Jaxer server [edit]

This page gives an overview of the Jaxer server.

## Introduction

Jaxer is a powerful Ajax server that enables you to build rich, "Ajax-style" web sites and applications entirely with CSS JavaScript, and DHTML:

- Use libraries (jQuery, EXT, etc) and technologies that you are familiar with for both client-side and server-side development.
- Prepare the HTML DOM on the server before serving the page, using the same techniques and libraries as on the client.
- Call server-side JavaScript functions directly from client-side JavaScript.
- Validate your data with the same code on both the server and the client.

Because the Jaxer server is bundled with Aptana Studio, including several sample applications, you can get started with Jaxer development without having to download or install any additional plug-ins or applications.
