Ajax-2 (C) 2021-22

AJAX is a web development technique that allows web pages to update parts of a page asynchronously by exchanging data with a web server behind the scenes without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page. It is commonly used to load dynamic content, submit forms, provide auto-saving, enable live search, and allow real-time updates.

AJAX, which stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, is a web development

technique used to create dynamic and interactive web applications. It allows web
pages to send and receive data from a server asynchronously without interfering
with the display and behavior of the existing page. This means that you can update
parts of a web page without having to reload the entire page.

Here's how AJAX typically works:

User Interaction: The user interacts with the web page, triggering an event such as
clicking a button or typing in a form field.

JavaScript Event Handling: JavaScript code captures this event and initiates an
AJAX request.

AJAX Request: The JavaScript code sends an HTTP request to the server
asynchronously. This request can be to retrieve data from the server, send data to
the server, or perform any other operation supported by HTTP.

Server Processing: The server processes the request and sends back a response,
typically in JSON, XML, HTML, or plain text format.

Client-Side Processing: Once the response is received, JavaScript processes it and


updates the web page content accordingly. This could involve inserting new data
into the page, modifying existing content, or performing any other necessary
actions.

Display Update: Finally, the updated content is displayed to the user, often
without the need to refresh the entire page.

AJAX is widely used in web development for various purposes, including:

Dynamic Content Loading: Websites can load new content dynamically without
requiring a full page reload. For example, social media feeds often use AJAX to
load new posts as the user scrolls down.

Form Submission: Instead of submitting a form traditionally, AJAX can be used to


send form data to the server, validate it, and display the response without
reloading the page. This leads to a smoother user experience.

Auto-Saving: Web applications can use AJAX to periodically send data to the server
to be saved, providing an auto-save feature for users.

Live Search: AJAX can be used to implement live search functionality, where search
results are displayed instantly as the user types into a search box.

Real-Time Updates: Applications like chat rooms and collaborative editing tools can
use AJAX to deliver real-time updates to users without requiring manual page
refreshes.

For example, consider a web-based email client. When a user opens their inbox,
instead of loading all emails at once, the client can use AJAX to request and load
a subset of emails asynchronously as the user scrolls down. When the user opens an
email or marks it as read, AJAX can be used to send this information to the server
without reloading the entire page. This creates a seamless and responsive user
experience.
