PureEdit is a content management system specially for developers who create the front-end of the website themselves and need a flexible CMS software.

PureEdit lets you control the databases that you created with a nice looking CMS interface without any coding. It simply lets you create, edit or delete data with database. Compared to many other CMS softwares, you don’t need to adapt to the CMS software, PureEdit adapts to you.

The beauty of PureEdit comes with the clever interface that understands whether the database column will be shown as a file upload, text editor, date, etc..  By naming the columns with  _txt, _file, _date (ex: post_date) PureEdit gets that this will be a date value and shows this data as a date view.

The XMLHTTPRequest object allows HTTP requests to be sent to the server and get input back from the server. There are two parts to the client-server interaction through this object:

• The client "pings" the server (a PHP script) for new messages. The server in turn queries a database for any messages for the client, and returns them as JSON. The XMLHTTPRequest object passes this JSON text be parsed by the rest of the JavaScript.
• The client sends data to the server (a PHP script), such as a new message to another user. This data is then processed by the server ("cleaning" the data of any thing invalid) and put into the database, which is later "pinged" by another client.
