The increased popularity of Web 2.0 is due largely to the flexibility of the current generation of web browsers. These browsers use Ajax to communicate with the server to interchange XML data and then employ DHTML to navigate the XML and present it to the user. The browser capabilities enable them to be used as thick clients in a web based application. These base technologies gave birth to a number of new technologies and initiatives to meet the growing popularity of Web 2.0. New helper libraries like Dojo and Sarissa have been created to make using XML less painful, and there has been increased support for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG).
