[edit] History of APE

The development of APE started in early 2006 with the democratization of the AJAX technology. The project was originally named "ACE" (Ajax Chat Engine) and was only destined to do real-time AJAX Chat. The idea was to build a server able to push back the limits of the web browsers while maintaining a constant connection to a client. It would use AJAX requests to chat without external plug-in such as Flash or Java.

When the developers of the ACE Project decided to form their own company, the project evolved with new features. The developers decided expand the project from a chat engine to a "push" engine. The project turned into APE (Ajax Push Engine). Now, users are able to push any kind of data, in real-time, to a web browser.
