Ajax (software development)

Ajax, which stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, is a technology used in web development to create interactive and dynamic web applications. It allows websites to send and receive data from a server without reloading the entire page. This means users can see updates and changes instantly, leading to a smoother and more engaging experience. For example, when you receive new messages in your email without refreshing the page, that’s Ajax at work. It combines several web technologies, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, to enhance functionality and user experience on the internet.
