1 Introduction to AJAX
76
+
=====================
77
+
78
+
1.1. What is AJAX?
79
+
---------------------
80
+
81
+
-`AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML)`
82
+
-`AJAJ (Asynchronous JavaScript and JSON)`
83
+
84
+
The process of **`sending and receiving data on the fly without page refresh/reload`** is known as AJAX
85
+
86
+
- AJAX is not a new programming language - actually its a methodology or concepts or special way to bring JavaScript and XML (JSON) together to produce impressive results
87
+
- AJAX is set of web technologies - just uses a combination of:
88
+
- A browser built-in `XMLHttpRequest object` to request data froma web server
89
+
-`JavaScript and HTML DOM` to display or use the data
90
+
- AJAX allows the web page to `"talk/communicate"` with the server behind the scene (send and receive data asynchronously)
91
+
- AJAX sends, receives and process information to or from the server without page refresh/reload (does not interfere with current web page/data)
92
+
- AJAX minimize the page refreshes, so web sites/pages/web apps shows more fluid/elegent-better experience to users
93
+
- AJAX and JSON together provides the ability to JavaScript code to make HTTP requests to get data and update page content with new data
94
+
- Now a days JSON has replaced XML for the most part and almost all dynamic websites uses/implements AJAX concepts and methodology
95
+
96
+
97
+
1.2. Why use AJAX?
98
+
---------------------
99
+
100
+
- AJAX is prety fast - as it allows you to send and receive data asynchronously without reloading the web page
101
+
- AJAX allows web pages to be updated asynchronously by exchanging data with a web server behind the scenes, this simply means that it is possible to update parts of a web page, without reloading the whole page
102
+
- AJAX is used for building web based interactive applications that process user requests immediately - no page reload to bring data into your application
103
+
- AJAX allows us to send and fetch only important/valuable part of data/information to/from the server not the entire page so it makes your application interactive and faster
104
+
- XML is commonly used as the format for receiving server data, although any format, including plain text, can be used
105
+
- AJAX is a web browser technology independent of web server software/platform
106
+
- Data-driven as opposed to Page-driven methodology
