AJAX = Asynchronous JavaScript and XML
AJAX is not a new programming language, but a technique for creating better, faster, and more interactive web applications.
With AJAX, your JavaScript can communicate directly with the server, using the JavaScript XMLHttpRequest object. With this object, your JavaScript can trade data with a web server, without reloading the page.
AJAX uses asynchronous data transfer (HTTP requests) between the browser and the web server, allowing web pages to request small bits of information from the server instead of whole pages.
The AJAX technique makes Internet applications smaller, faster and more user-friendly.
* AJAX is a browser technology independent of web server software.

AJAX: Asynchronous JavaScript and XML.
It creates an asynchronous request to the web server using client-side JavaScript and an XmlHttpRequest object and it maps a function to be executed when the response is received. The core component in AJAX is the XMLHTTPRequest object.Main component in AJAX is XMLHTTPRequest object.In AJAX, the request is for data, not for a GUI element.
