AJAX = Asynchronous JavaScript and XML
AJAX is not a new programming language, but
a technique for creating better, faster, and more interactive web
applications.
With AJAX, your JavaScript can communicate directly with the server, using the
JavaScript XMLHttpRequest object. With this object, your JavaScript can
trade data with a web server, without reloading the page.
AJAX uses asynchronous data
transfer (HTTP requests) between the browser and the web server, allowing web pages to request
small bits of information from the server instead of whole pages.
The AJAX technique makes Internet applications smaller, faster and more user-friendly.
 AJAX
is a browser technology independent of web server software.
AJAX is Based on Web Standards
AJAX is based on the following web standards:
The web standards used in AJAX are well defined, and supported by all major
browsers. AJAX applications are browser and platform independent.
AJAX is About Better Internet Applications
Web applications have many benefits over desktop applications; they can reach
a larger audience, they are easier to install and support, and easier to
develop.
However, Internet applications are not always as "rich" and user-friendly as
traditional desktop applications.
With AJAX, Internet applications can be made richer and more user-friendly.

AJAX is based on existing standards. These standards have been used by most
developers for several years.
