AJAX, Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, is a web development technique for creating interactive web applications. The intent is to make web pages feel more responsive by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes, so that the entire web page does not have to be reloaded each time the user requests a change. This is meant to increase the web page's interactivity, speed, and usability.
AJAX is a type of programming made popular in 2005 by Google (with
Google Suggest). AJAX is not a new programming language, but a new way to use
existing standards. AJAX is based on JavaScript and HTTP requests.
