Full Form of AJAX
Asynchronous JavaScript and XML
AJAX Full Form is Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. AJAX refers to the set or package of techniques that are used in web development. It was designed by Jesse Garrett and it appeared for the first time in 2005. The name of AJAX is somewhat misleading. Because use and understanding of XML is not essentially required to use this technique.
AJAX is used for creating asynchronous web pages that are dynamic and effectively fast. It is used to update some specific parts of a web page without performing the reload of it. By using this technique, web applications become able to export and retrieve data from the related web server. This process does not affect the current or existing display of that web page. This update happens asynchronously.
XML Http Request is used for retrieving data from the respective web server and JavaScript is used for displaying the collected data.One example of the function of AJAX is when a person starts to start typing in the search box of Google, the typed letters are sent to the server by the use of JavaScript and a list of predicted suggestions is returned by the server. YouTube, Google Maps, Facebook, and Gmail are some applications that actively and effectively use AJAX.
