AJAX

AJAX

AJAX is a core part of jQuery. In this case file you'll learn what it is, why it matters, and how to use it in real code.

Understanding ajax well means you can read other people's jQuery code with confidence, and avoid the most common beginner mistakes in this area.

Key points:

• What ajax means in the context of jQuery
• A minimal example you can run or read in the playground on the right
• A common mistake to avoid when working with ajax

// jQuery: AJAX
function demo() {
  console.log("Exploring AJAX in jQuery");
}

demo();

Tip: Try changing a value in the code on the right and re-running it — small experiments are the fastest way to build real intuition for ajax.
