🔁 How Ajax Works: Step-by-Step Process

Ajax operates through a series of steps that facilitate asynchronous data exchange between client and server:


1️⃣ Event Trigger

A user acts on the webpage (click, input, etc.).


2️⃣ Create XMLHttpRequest Object

JavaScript creates an XMLHttpRequest object to handle server communication.


3️⃣ Configure Request

Specify the request type (GET, POST), URL, and async mode.


4️⃣ Send Request

The request is sent to the server.


5️⃣ Server Processing

Server processes the request and sends back a response.


6️⃣ Handle Response

JavaScript processes the server response in callback functions.


7️⃣ Update DOM

The webpage dynamically updates based on the response, without a full reload.


⚡ This entire process is initiated seamlessly, providing real-time updates without disrupting the user experience.
