/**
 * Class RateitAjax
 * Contain methods to catch ajax requests and send responses back to the client.
 *
 * Description
 * ```````````
 *
 * The usage of the RateitAjax extensions is very easy. The extension provides
 * the hook $GLOBALS['TL_HOOKS']['rateitAjax'] for extension developers. You
 * simply have to register your class/method and the extension will call
 * your class if there is an incomming ajax request.
 *
 * You simply have to deside if it's an ajax request for your module and return
 * the data you want.
 *
 * There are a few thinks you should know about the extension:
 * 	* YOU have the full controll over the response. That also means
 * 	  that you have to set the correct header.
 *  * YOU have to terminate the request after you have send the response.
 * 	* If the ajax request is not for your method you simply have nothing to
 * 	* return.
 *
 *
 * Usage
 * `````
 * // config.php
 * $GLOBALS['TL_HOOKS']['rateitAjax'][] = array('MyClass', 'myMethod');
 *
 * // MyClass.php
 * class MyClass extends System
 * {
 * 	public function myMethod()
 * 	{
 * 		if ($this->Input->get('acid') == 'myrequest')
 * 		{
 * 			$arrReturn = array('foo', 'bar', 'foobar');
 *
 * 			header('Content-Type: application/json');
 * 			echo json_encode($arrReturn);
 * 			exit;
 * 		}
 * 	}
 * }
