Answer 1

By using XMLHTTP you ARE using ajax.

There's a full example here:

jQuery AJAX calls to a WCF REST Service

Answer 2

Look at the code on the link that I have sent before. Sure U can implement it yourself but it well be a huge effort duplication.

First, your WCF service must have:

[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]

Then, on the javascript side, change the

"Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

To

"Content-Type", "application/json"

Remember that the response will be json formated, so having a parser could be useful.

Why you don't want to use external libs?
