If you want to develop high performance Ajax Web Applications with the use of Java then GWT is the open source Ajax Web Development framework for you. When using the Google Web Toolkit Framework you are allowed to write the front end code of your web app in Java and after that you can compile this source code into web browser compatible HTML and JavaScript which is highly optimized. Nowadays writing web applications is a real complex and error prone task as near about 90% of the time is spent in working around with various modern web browser quirks and as well the lack of Modularity in JavaScript makes reuse of Ajax Components, sharing and testing of Ajax Components much more difficult and flimsy. However with the Google Web Toolkit Ajax Framework it need not be this way.

Rather than having to waste time I solving the incompatibilities between various platforms and web browsers you can use the GWT framework and resolve all these headaches so that you have a standard complaint experience when developing apps through this framework.
The rapid maturing and public debut of the GWT framework has grabbed the attention of all the frameworks which facilitate web app development and all the myriad tools in particular the ones that are written with the use of Ajax Asynchronous , XML and JavaScript.
With GWT your Java Code will be compiled into JavaScript and HTML i.e. Ajax . We all know that making use of Ajax Applications is a great pleasure but when it comes to their support and maintenance in large projects it is not that easy but now with the Google Web Toolkit Framework you can be relived of the entire pain of Ajax Application development.
