Ajax (programming)

Ajax, short for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, is a web technology that allows web applications to send and receive data from a server without refreshing the entire page. This means users can interact with a website—like loading new content or submitting forms—smoothly and quickly, creating a better experience. For instance, when you see new messages load as you scroll on social media, that’s Ajax at work. It enhances functionality by enabling real-time updates and interactions, making web applications feel more dynamic and responsive.
