JQuery Ajax

By

For the development of Ajax jQuery uses various libraries of methods or functions.  Ajax stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. This is a technique for creating fast and dynamic web pages. Ajax permits web pages to be updated asynchronously by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes. That is it is possible to update parts of a web page, without reloading the whole page. Ajax is not a new programming language. It is a new way to use the existing standards.
JQuery Ajax
Ajax is based on internet standards and uses a combination of the following ones.
  1. XMLHttpRequest object (to exchange data asynchronously with a server)
  2. JavaScript/DOM (to display/interact with the information)
  3. CSS (to style the data)
  4. XML (often used as the format for transferring data)
Ajax applications are browser enables one and platform independent. For Ajax web development with jQuery Ajax we can request TXT, HTML, XML or JSON data from a remote server using both HTTP Get and HTTP Post.
JQuery Ajax Methods
1)      .load():- This method is simple and very powerful Ajax function.
Syntax: –
$(selector).load(url,data,callback)
The selector parameter defines the HTML elements to change and the url parameter to specify a web address for your data. The data parameter used to send data to the server. The callback parameter uses only if we need to trigger a function after completion.
2)      $.ajax():- This is a low level Ajax function. $.ajax provide more functionality than higher level functions like load, get, and post, but it is also more difficult to use.
Syntax: –
$.ajax(options)
The option parameter takes name|value pairs defining url data, passwords, data types, filters, character sets, timeout and error functions.
3)      $.ajax():- This method performs an AJAX request.
Syntax: –
$.ajax({name:value, name:value, ... })
The possible name values are given below.
1)      Async: – It is a Boolean value indicating whether the request should be handled asynchronous or not. Default is true.
2)      beforeSend(xhr):- It is a function to run before the request is sent.
3)      Cache: – This is a Boolean value indicating whether the browser should cache the requested pages. Default is true.
4)      complete(xhr,status):- This function to run when the request is finished (after success and error functions).
5)      contentType: – The content type used when sending data to the server. Default is: “application/x-www-form-urlencoded”.
6)      Context:- It specifies the “this” value for all AJAX related callback functions.
7)      Data: – This value specifies data to be sent to the server.
8)      dataFilter(data,type):- This function used to handle the raw response data of the XMLHttpRequest.
9)      dataType: – The data type expected of the server response.
10)  error(xhr,status,error):- This function to run if the request fails.
11)  Global: – It is a Boolean value specifying whether or not to trigger global AJAX event handles for the request. Default is true.
12)  ifModified: – This is also a  Boolean value specifying whether a request is only successful if the response has changed since the last request. Default is: false.
