13. Using AJAX to Communicate with Web Servers and Web Services

AJAX communication is one of the most vital parts of most web sites. The sites allow jQuery and JavaScript to get additional data from the server and update individual elements on the page instead of reloading or loading a new web page.

The phrases in this chapter are designed to help you explore the world of asynchronous communication with the server using AJAX requests in jQuery and JavaScript.
