What is AJAX?
AJAX = Asynchronous JavaScript And XML.
AJAX is not aprogramming language.
AJAX just uses a combination of:
A browser built-in XMLHttpRequest obiect (to request data from a web
server)
JavaScript and HTML DOM (to display or use the data)
AJAX stands for asynchronous Javascript and XML. AJAX 0s not a
programming language or technology, but it is a combination of multiple
web-related technologies like HTML, XHTML, css, JavaScript, DOM, XML
XSLT and XMLHttpRequest object. The AJAX model allows web developers
to create web applications that are able to dynamically interact with the
user. It will also be able to quickly make a background call to web serverS
to retrieve the required application data. Then update the small portion of
the web page without refreshing the whole web page.
AJAX applications are much more faster and responsive as compared to
traditional web applications. It creates a great balance between the client
and the server by allowing them to communicate in the background while
the user is working in the foreground.
In the AJAX applications, the exchange of data between a web browser
and the server is asynchronous means AJAX applications submit requests
to the web server without pausing the execution of the application and
can also process the requested data whenever it is returned. For example,
Facebook uses the AJAX model so whenever we like any post the count of
the like button increase instead of refreshing the whole page.
Working of AJAX
Traditional web applications are created by adding loosely web pages through
links in a predefined order. Where the user can move from one page to another
page to interact with the different portions of the applications. Also, HTTP
requests are used to submit the web server in response to the user action. After
receiving the request the web server fulfills therequest by returning a new
webpage which, then displayson the web browser. This process includes lots of
pages refreshing and waiting.

AJAX Technologies
The technologies that are used by AJAX are already implenmented in all the
Morden browsers. So the client does not require any extra module to run the
AJAX [Link] technologies used by AJAX are -

1t makes the best use of existing technology and feature instead of using
some new technology.
It makes an asynchronous call to the web server which means the client
doesn't have to wait for the data to arrive before starting rendering.
Disadvantages of AJAX
The following are the disadvantages of AJAX
AJAX is fully dependent on Javascript. So if anything happens with
javascript in the browser AJAX will not support.
The debugging of AJAX applications is difficult.
Bookmarking of AJAX-enabled pages required pre-planning.
If one request can fail then it can fail the load of the whole webpage.
If JavaScript is disabled in your web browser then you are not able to run
the AJAX webpage.
