Most of the people think that AJAX is a relatively new programming language; the reason is that its name has never been used so frequently in the past as it is being used today. One of the main advantages of using AJAX is that it helps in creating faster, better, dynamic and interactive web applications. Another advantage of using AJAX is that it enables the JavaScript to communicate directly with the server, without requiring the user to refresh the page; that is the reason why AJAX is also called as a browser technology which is independent of web server software.
