How Ajax Works: A Step-by-Step Process
🔁 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.
