Ajax = Asynchronous JavaScript + CSS + DOM + XMLHttpRequest, which is a new approach to web applications. To know how Ajax is different from classic web application model and who’s using it, read this article from Adaptive path.
Ajax isn’t a technology. It’s really several technologies, each flourishing in its own right, coming together in powerful new ways. Ajax incorporates:
- standards-based presentation using XHTML and CSS;
- dynamic display and interaction using the Document Object Model;
- data interchange and manipulation using XML and XSLT;
- asynchronous data retrieval using XMLHttpRequest;
- and JavaScript binding everything together.
