A Backbone.Ajax function powered by native XHR methods
MIT License
A drop-in replacement for Backbone.Ajax that uses only native XMLHttpRequest methods for sync. It has no dependency on jQuery.
You might consider using the window.fetch pollyfill coupled with a simple plugin for Backbone instead of this project if you need better Promise or header support.
Load Backbone.NativeAjax with your favorite module loader or add as a script tag after you have loaded Backbone in the page.
If loading with AMD or CommonJS you should set Backbone.ajax
yourself:
// AMD
define(['backbone', 'nativeajax'], function(Backbone, ajax) {
Backbone.ajax = ajax;
});
// CommonJS
var Backbone = require('backbone');
Backbone.ajax = require('backbone.nativeajax');

NativeAjax uses XMLHttpRequest which is supported in modern browsers. See the compatibility chart.
It also makes use of Function.prototype.bind
which can be easily pollyfilled
in older environments.
Set a Promise
object on the global or on Backbone.ajax
to return a promise.
