If you put the logic into $.ajax, the only thing left for $.get to do is
just what the $.ajax success callback already provides. And it's nearly
the same for $.post, only that you type $.post({...}) instead of
$.ajax({type: "post", ...});
So don't see the need for $.get and $.post anymore.

I think it makes sense to move all that logic into $.ajax but I would keep $.get and $.post because they are nice convenience methods. $.ajax supports a lot of options and having some of them defaulted properly via $.get and $.post makes sense.

If someone has already converted the data, it must be in string format anyway to work. While we are at it: A get request can send it's data only by appending the query string to the URL, right? Can this be handled by $.ajax, too?

Use the form plugin: http://jquery.com/dev/svn/trunk/plugins/form/form.js?format=txt It works with all of the released versions of jQuery (1.0 and later).
