jQuery 1.5添加了“延迟对象”。它们是什么，它们的作用是什么？
jQuery 1.5添加了“延迟对象”。它们是什么，它们的作用是什么？

递延对象
从jQuery 1.5开始，Deferred对象提供了一种将多个回调注册到自我管理的回调队列中，酌情调用回调队列以及中继任何同步或异步函数的成功或失败状态的方法。
递延方法：
推迟行动：
$.get("test.php").done(
function(){ alert("$.get succeeded"); }
);
$.get("test.php")
.done(function(){ alert("$.get succeeded"); })
.fail(function(){ alert("$.get failed!"); });而且似乎可以将现有的ajax（）方法回调链接起来，而不是在设置中声明：
var jqxhr = $.ajax({ url: "example.php" })
.success(function() { alert("success"); })
.error(function() { alert("error"); })
.complete(function() { alert("complete"); });Eric Hynds博客文章中的工作示例：http : //jsfiddle.net/ehynds/Mrqf8/
jqXHR
从jQuery 1.5开始，$ .ajax（）方法返回jXHR对象，该对象是XMLHTTPRequest对象的超集。有关更多信息，请参见$ .ajax条目的jXHR部分。
延迟对象
随着Ajax模块的重写，引入了一个新功能，该功能也已公开提供：Deferred Objects。该API允许您使用可能不会立即出现的返回值（例如异步Ajax请求的返回结果）。此外，它还使您能够附加多个事件处理程序（以前在Ajax API中是不可能的）。
另外，您可以使用公开的jQuery.Deferred来制作自己的延迟对象。有关此API的更多信息，请参见 Deferred Object文档。
埃里克·海因兹（Eric Hynds）在jQuery 1.5中编写了一个关于使用延期的很好的教程。
与其告诉您它的功能，不如告诉我它并进行解释。
jQuery 1.5相关源代码的副本，并带有注释以解释其功能。我认为这些评论大部分是正确的。

// promiseMethods. These are the methods you get when you ask for a promise.
// A promise is a "read-only" version
// fullMethods = "then done fail resolve resolveWith reject rejectWith isResolve isRejected promise cancel".split(" ")
// As you can see it removes resolve/reject so you can't actaully trigger a
// anything on the deferred object, only process callbacks when it "finishes".
promiseMethods = "then done fail isResolved isRejected promise".split(" "),
// Create a simple deferred (one callbacks list)
/* Class: _Deferred.
* methods: done, resolve, resolveWith, isResolved
* internal method: cancel
*
* Basically allows you to attach callbacks with the done method.
* Then resolve the deferred action whenever you want with an argument.
* All the callbacks added with done will be called with the resolved argument
* Any callbacks attached after resolvement will fire immediatly.
*
* resolveWith allows you to set the this scope in the callbacks fired.
*
* isResolved just checks whether it's resolved yet.
*
* cancel blocks resolve/resolveWith from firing. the methods added throug
* done will never be called

},Problem solved。顺便说一句，这就是1.5beta的来源，我认为1.6会有一些变化
在使用Javascript工作时，我们会遇到函数调用是异步的情况。那就是calee函数的流程（假设X）不等待被调用的异步函数（假设Y）。典型的例子是当我们调用服务器以从数据库或HTML页面获取某些数据时。如果这些调用不是异步的，则用户界面将停留在等待服务器响应的状态。当您要按顺序执行事务时，例如，要在执行完Y（异步）或完成数据提取后打印某些内容，这种异步性质会导致问题。jQuery在这里为我们提供了Deffered Object。基本上，jQuery已经处理了通常为解决这种情况而编写的所有样板代码。这是一个简单的示例：
$.ajax({
...
}).done(function(){
//write here what you wish to do when this ajax call is success
}).fail(function(){
//write here what you wish to do on failure of this ajax call
}); //see more on jQuery Deferred page您可以编写自己的延期（异步）功能
function DoSomethingTimeConsumingAsynch(){
var deferred = $.Deferred();
_.defer(function(){ //I am using underscore, you can also use setTimeout
...
deferred.resolve();//When the process is done successfully
...
deferred.reject(); //When the process has failed
});
return deferred;
}
//HEre how to use your own asynch function
DoSomethingTimeConsumingAsynch()
.done(function(){
//this will be invoked on success
})
.fail(function(){
//this will be invoked on failure
})希望对您有所帮助。
