Web Development Client Side Web Applications Web Applications Server

AJAX allows web pages to be updated asynchronously by exchanging data with a server in the background without reloading the entire page. It uses a combination of technologies including XMLHttpRequest to retrieve data from the server, JavaScript and DOM to display/interact with the information on the page, and CSS to style the updated content. Some examples of AJAX applications are Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube, and Facebook tabs.

 It s a group of interrelated web development techniques used on the client­side 
to create interactive web applications.
 With Ajax, web applications can retrieve data from the server asynchronously 
in the background without interfering with the display and behavior of the 
existing page

interfaces on web pages. Data are usually retrieved using the XMLHttpRequest 
object. 
 AJAX applications are browser­ and platform­independent!
 Examples of applications using AJAX: Google Maps, Gmail, Youtube, and 
Facebook tabs
 AJAX is based on internet standards, and uses a combination of:
• XMLHttpRequest object (to exchange data asynchronously with a server) 
• JavaScript/DOM (to display/interact with the information) 
• CSS (to style the data) 
• XML (often used as the format for transferring data)
