AJAX is a web development tool for building interactive web applications. If you know JavaScript, HTML, CSS and XML, you will need to spend just one hour getting started with AJAX.
Why to Learn Ajax?
AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. AJAX is a new way to build better, faster, more interactive web applications with the help of XML, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- Ajax uses XHTML for content, CSS presenting, and Document Object Model and JavaScript for dynamic content display.
- Standard web applications transfer data from and delete using sync applications. It means you fill out a form, hit submit, and be redirected to a new page with new information from the server.
- With AJAX, when you hit the submission, JavaScript will apply to the server, translate the results, and refresh the current screen. In a pure sense, the user never knows that anything has been transferred to the server.
- XML is widely used as a data receiver format, and any format, including plain text, can be used.
- AJAX is an independent web browser technology for web software.
- The user can continue to use the app while the customer system requests information from the server in the background.
- Accurate user interaction. Clicks are not required, mouse movement is the beginning of an adequate event.
- Data processing is different from page processing.
Rich Internet Application Technology
AJAX is the most effective Rich Internet Application (RIA) technology to date. It is gaining momentum in the industry and several tools and frameworks are emerging. But at the same time, AJAX has a browser inconsistency and is supported by JavaScript, which is difficult to maintain and debug.
AJAX is Based on Open Standards
AJAX is based on the following open standards -
- Browser-based presentation uses HTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
- Data is stored in XML format and downloaded from a server.
- Background data downloads XMLHttpRequest objects in the browser.
- JavaScript to make it all possible.
