Mar 9, 2019 at 13:25 comment added Ewan well it might have been in his mind in 1995, but it was published in 2000, a year after ie5 enabled you to do ajax and 2 years after SOAP. But really here I'm talking about its uptake as the standard way to make api calls
Mar 9, 2019 at 12:51 comment added Jörg W Mittag I think you have your timeline very wrong. Yes, it is true that the ReST dissertation was published a couple of months after the introduction of XmlHTTPRequest. But a) it takes a while to write a PhD dissertation, so clearly Fielding worked on ReST before XmlHTTPRequest (and thus AJAX) even existed. And b) the ReST architectural style is simply a description of the architectural principles behind HTTP (whose spec Fielding wrote in 1995) and the World Wide Web. So, ReST pre-dates AJAX by at least half a decade.
