AJAX is an acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. AJAX is really not a new technology, but instead combines several existing technologies to provide a foundation for rich Internet applications.

The key benefit of AJAX is that information can be exchanged between the browser and the server without refreshing the entire page. This means that applications running in a browser using AJAX can be faster and more responsive and thus more closely resemble applications running on the desktop.

Another key point is that almost all recent browsers support the techniques utilized for AJAX. This means that users do not have to download plug-ins or install other software to make AJAX work.

Ajax is a way of developing Web applications that combines:

  • XHTML and CSS standards based presentation.
  • Interaction with the page through the DOM.
  • Data interchange with XML and XSLT.
  • Asynchronous data retrieval with XMLHttpRequest.
  • JavaScript to tie it all together.
