Which one to use and why – JavaScript Remoting and Remote Objects?

Hi Kapil,

Visualforce Remote Objects:

• Makes basic “CRUD” object access easy
• Doesn’t require any Apex code
• Supports minimal server-side application logic
• Doesn’t provide automatic relationship traversals; you must look up related objects yourself.

JavaScript Remoting:

• Requires both JavaScript and Apex code
• Supports complex server-side application logic
• Handles complex object relationships better
• Uses network connections (even) more efficiently

Thanks

Hi,

Well, here are few advantages of “Visualforce Remote Objects” :

1. No need to write Controllers, Everything can be done in Visualforce only.
2. As @RemoteAction annotated methods needs to be static so you had to take special precaution as it didn’t
3. supported Viewstate. This hurdle is completely removed now.
4. No need to write Test Class now, as no Controller is involved.

Hope this helps.
