$.ajax({
  url: "api",
  cache: false,
  timeout: 1000,
  type: "POST",
  data: { "foo": "bar" },
  headers: { "foo": "bar" },
  beforeSend: function( xhr ) {
    ...
  }
}).success(function(){
  ...
})

$.xhr( "api" )
  .method( "POST" )
  .cache( false )
  .timeout( 1000 )
  .header( "foo", "bar" )
  .native(function( xhr ) {
    ...
  })
  .send({ "foo": "bar" })

  .then(function( json ) {
    ...
  })

// For simple requests we could use:
$.xhr.get( "foo" ).then(function() {})
$.xhr.post( "bar", {} ).then(function() {});

// But its alredy provided by
(jQuery.get) || (jQuery.post)

// So basically, i would just simplify they signatures
// by removing "success" and "dataType" options
// See http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.post/ as an example
$.get( "foo" ).then(function() {})
$.post( "bar", {} ).then(function() {});
