Ajax is a design approach and a set of techniques for delivering a highly interactive, desktop-like user experience for Web applications in popular HTML browsers. Ajax, which stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, improves the user's Web application experience while retaining the HTML benefits of server-based application deployment. Ajax achieves desktop-like Web pages by having parts of a page reload, instead of the entire page, in response to user input. Instead of whole-page refreshes, small amounts of data are exchanged with the server behind the scenes, and the application remains usable by the end user. Ajax techniques therefore represent the continued evolution of DHTML to deliver Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) and the Web 2.0 experience.
