AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a web development technique that helps to create a highly responsive website. by the use of AJAX, we get desktop-like software experience on the web browser. It is used in the web pages to be updated asynchronously by changing data with a web server behind the scene (in the background). This makes it possible to update parts of a web page, without reloading the whole page. It is the use of the XMLHttpRequest object to communicate with server-side scripts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The easiest way of implementing AJAX, especially if we’re planning on communicating with servers is by using jQuery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people get confused with the concept that ajax is a programming language. So, let’s be very clear that <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ajax is not<\/strong> a programming language, it is a web development technique<\/strong> designed to create highly responsive\/ interactive websites. To have a better understanding of AJAX we need to have knowledge of javascript and somewhat XML. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Javascript <\/strong>is a scripting language that helps to make web pages interactive, CSS <\/strong>(Cascading style sheet) style sheet to the makeup of the webpage and XML <\/strong>(extensible markup language ) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. here javascript <\/strong>and CSS <\/strong>are essentials and XML <\/strong>is less essential for the beginners<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why use AJAX<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. A whole page reload is not required on each request made.<\/li>
  2. Sends and receives data in the background.<\/li>
  3. Improves speed and performance.<\/li>
  4. Provides a better user experience. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    How AJAX works<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ajax uses XMLHttpRequest object (also called XHR objects) to achieve this<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. When the user sends a request from the interface then the javascript directs to the XMLHttpRequest object.<\/li>
    2. Then the HTTP Request is made to the server by XMLHttpRequest object.<\/li>
    3. Then the server interacts with the database using the JSP, PHP, Servlet, ASP.net, etc.<\/li>
    4. When there is a match for the request then the Data is retrieved from the database.<\/li>
    5. Then the Server sends XML data or JSON data to the XMLHttpRequest callback function.<\/li>
    6. Finally, when all the things are good to go then the web-page made (with HTML and CSS) is displayed on the browser.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
