JQuery AJAX vs. Adobe AIR AJAX Class

Question

Hi,
I would like to use jQuery for my next project, and as you know, jquery comes with an included AJAX module, but i could also use the ajax class provided with adobe air. Which one should i better use it ? I've worked before with jQuery and so i'm more familiar with this library.
Is there a difference between Adobe AIR AJAX Class and jQuery's AJAX ?
Thank you,
Alex

I've seen a tutorial such as this:
$("#loginbtn").click(function(){ 
params = 'username='+$("#username").val()+'&password='+$("#password").val(); 
request = new air.URLRequest(server + 'loginService.php'); 
request.data = params; 
request.method = air.URLRequestMethod.POST; 
loader = new air.URLLoader(); 
loader.addEventListener(air.Event.COMPLETE, loginComplete); 
try { 
   loader.load(request); 
} catch (error) { 
   alert("Error connecting to login server."); 
and i am saying that you could do the same thing in jQuery.
Is there any advantage in using AIR's AJAX Class ?
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Alex
