What is the Full form of AJAX?
The AJAX full form is the Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. AJAX is not a technology, but rather a combination of technologies. It employs numerous web applications to produce a set of web design ideas. It functions on the client-side of asynchronous development tools. With the aid of AJAX, we may send and get information from the server asynchronously, i.e. without interrupting the currently displayed page.

AJAX uses a mixture of
- Built-in browser object XMLHttpRequest – To request data from a webserver
- HTML DOM and JavaScript — To display or utilize data
By exchanging data with a web server in the background, AJAX enables asynchronous page updates. It indicates that portions of a web page can be updated without having to reload the full page.
History of AJAX
- Historically, all web pages were generated using HTML exclusively.
- These were difficult to use because it took a long time to reload the page each time.
- Internet Explorer introduced the Iframe tag in 1996.
- On February 18, 2005, Jesse James Garrett introduced the word AJAX in an essay titled “Ajax: A New Approach to Web Applications.”
Application of AJAX
- AJAX can be used with CSS and HTML for presentation purposes.
- The DOM (Document Object Model) to display and interact with information in a dynamic manner.
- JSON in addition to XML for Data Exchange
- XMLHttpRequest for asynchronous communication.
Limitations of AJAX
- It will only be implemented in browsers that support it.
- Ajax does not support particular screen-reading techniques.
- Some screen-reading techniques that support Ajax will still be unable to correctly read optimally created material.
- It is difficult to bookmark and return to a given implementation state.
- It leads to code that is difficult to maintain, debug, and write.
