title: What is more efficient - server calls with ASP.NET AJAX or jQuery?
body: <p>I used jQuery exclusively on my last project to do all my AJAX calls. I used both $.ajax and $.getJSON calls to return data to the page. However, I see a ton of examples online using jQuery to handle UI and data formatting, but using ASP.NET AJAX to actually perform web service calls and retrieve data. Is it more efficient to use ASP.NET AJAX to retrieve data for AJAX calls? Does it perform better than jQuery?</p>
