Normally when you have to fetch or send some data from/to server, you send a request to server which refreshes and recreates the whole page. The problem here is it takes more time, consumes server resources, and consume more bandwidth. In Ajax, the request is sent to server asynchronously i.e. your web app user will not get to know that a request has been sent and the page doesn't reload. Hence your user can continue using web app and requests may be being sent in the backend. Now if you consider what is happening on server, it doesn't have to create the whole page again and creates the data only which client has requested. Ajax request is sent from client to server using JavaScript. There are many frameworks available using which you can use Ajax with less or no extra code but internally they also use JavaScript. jQuery is one of the popular JavaScript library which simplifies the code for Ajax and other things which you can do with JavaScript. read less
