Using CI for AJAX (how about performance?) - glorsh66 - 03-14-2018
Just asking - i wanna implement some ajax on my front-end, so i wonder - is it wise to use CI's controller for answers?
Or it is a way better to write separate php that do only this stuff.
For instance - take a list of cities from a database when a user selected a particular country.
It's way more convenient to implement it all in CI (because i can reuse models, and helpers and query builder is quite nice.)
But does it worth it? Will CI itself be a huge impedance for frequent AJAX requests?
