javascript - 具有多个闭包的嵌套 XMLHttpRequests 是个好主意吗？

Question

我有一个 Greasemonkey 脚本，它在视频网站的搜索结果页面上运行。该脚本的功能是获取一个使用 Flash 播放器打开新窗口的 javascript 链接，跳过一些重定向环，然后插入一个指向所需 FLV 文件的常规链接。

我已经更改了脚本来做一些愚蠢但在结构上与 en.wikipedia.org 相同的事情。我的问题是 3 个嵌套闭包和嵌套 xmlhttprequests 是否是解决此问题的最佳方法。

              var link3 = responseDetails.responseHeaders.match(/Content-Length.+/);

              var elmNewContent = document.createElement('p');

              p2.parentNode.insertBefore(elmNewContent, p2.nextSibling);
              p2.innerHTML = " <em>Done</em>";
            }}(p) // 3rd closure
          }); // end of second xmlhttprequest

        }}(this) // 2nd closure
      }); // end of first xmlhttprequest

    }}(cand.href), true); // 1st closure and end of addeventlistener
  } 
}

好吧，您可以通过为每个阶段创建单独的函数，然后让阶段 1 调用阶段 2 等来提高可读性。所以，而不是

request({onload: function(response) {
    request({onload: function(response) {
        request({onload: function(response) {
            alert("psych!");
        }});
    }});
}});

你会

request({onload: doTheNextThing});

function doTheNextThing(responseObject) {
    request({onload: doTheRightThing});
}

function doTheRightThing(responseObject) {
    request({onload: doTheLastThing});
}

function doTheLastThing(responseObject) {
   alert("psych!");
}
